Re: FIRST Frenzy Opinion Thread

I guess I like the game...
Still not convinced though.

My biggest gripes
-Seems as if we will see ALOT of bulldozer bots (herders)
-Too much human importance
-Alot of the "cool" stuff we were gonna pull out of our sleeves was included in the kit. This is a bummer because we now have to work harder to get awards like design and engineering etc. Example, the current sensors, we were gonna use those exact current sensors, we even convinced Allegro to give them to us. *sigh*
-less robot design intensive
-Also would have liked autanomous longer

Likes
-Should be very stratagy intensive
-Simple robots can be very competitive
-Easy to implement all most all functionalities ie. herder, multiplier, hanger
-Optimum robot design may not be the biggest, heviest, strongest

interesting....

Well good luck everyone!
-Andy
