I'm not sure about that one either....

As much work that is put into these robots, most of them won't last any longer then 75 rounds. I know that by the time our competitions are over, and we finish doing all of our PR work with taking the robot around and doing demonstrations, the robot only works at about 25-50% efficiency in comparison to the robot at it's best.

I know that our team isn't a national winning team...yet...but I'm not sure that even all of the national winning teams could have their robot last that long if they go through what teams like ours do.

Maybe we just are rough on our robot....

But this isn't the point. I think that part of the fun of a national competition is getting to see all the teams, east coast AND west. I would be sad to see this opportunity be lost because of a successful program...
