Lightbulb Re: FIRST Frenzy Opinion Thread

Pretty good game, but it's still early. It may be a GREAT game. Very 3-D and action packed for the spectators, which is important.

I predict there will be instances of significant robot carnage during the autonomous mode. Opposing teams' robots will be converging quickly on the same area of the field with no stack of tubs to cushion the blow of a head on collision.

Many robots will have higher centers of gravity (2X handlers, hanger bots) and will attempt to navigate the platform and get to the bar. Many machines will fall off or be pushed off the platform in the process and end the match in a horizontal position if they're not careful.

We have been advised to build 'em to withstand (robot to robot interaction). This isn't battle bots, but it isn't love bots either.
