Re: FIRST Frenzy Opinion Thread

Just because there is a hanging bar doesn't make it similar to the 2000 bar. I'm not sure how high that bar was, but it looked like around 5 feet, and robots could reach it easily.

This one is 10 feet off the ground and requires completely different components to reach it.

Just because the goals are similar to 2002 doesn't make it similar to that either. Goal grabbers aren't going to help much and pushing the goals around will be sufficient. Being able to pick up small balls may be an option for dumping them to the human player, but it is also effective to just push them in.

The only design I see giving some teams an advantage is the big balls. Teams can use their grabbers from 2001.
