Re: Reverse Robotics !!!!!!!!!!

I would like to see Mr. Shen try his hand at driving it. But most repairs are student-done on my team, so that means we would have to let our mentors do all our repairs. Which is bad, because when we need to get to our next match pronto, our mentors can't skip the whole design process. Example: We broke a weld in a corner. A friend and I cut a peice of L-bracket, clamped it in place, drilled the holes and added the bolts in about 5 minutes. Our mentors would have talked and thought too much, and we would have been late.

You could do "mentor matches" as kind of a fun bonus to a competition, though, where your mentors drove and were human players. It would be great.
