Cleanup- here is where most of the ideas seem unfeasible.. if theres a staircase, there has to be a ramp that can also access that place.. i mean, do you think FIRST will really allow pumped-up high school kids to walk backwards down stairs with 130 pound metal robots.. there has to be some easy way to cleanup, easy meaning safe, fast, and effective...
What you say makes sense. They could use the smaller *young* kids to climb into the enclosed maze and retrieve the robots that are stuck there at the end of the match (just kidding, they wouldn't be able to drag out a 130# robot)
