QOTW 08-24-03: Old School
Maddie has asked me to step in and post the QOTW while she is on vacation. Unfortunately I couldn't think of anything good, so I asked for help. Because of this, this week's question is brought to you by our good friend Andy Baker.

Andy wants to know:

Question of the Week 08-24-03: Over the years, FIRST has loosened up robot build restrictions. They have changed the robot design challenge. 4 years ago and before building a robot was somewhat of an "Apollo 13" challenge, where we had this pile of "stuff" and we were to build a robot out of the "stuff". During the last 4 years, we have been able to use many more materials and parts. Now, we can build a robot out of whatever we want (within reason and limitations of some common components).

What do you think of this change in robot building philosophy?


Well folks, what do you think?
