I agree with the idea that teams need to build higher quality robots. I know a lot of teams are limited in funds and resources, but I believe any FIRST robot should be worthy of sitting on a shelf in "Larry's Robot Store" if there was such a place. Before you go drilling big lightening holes of hacking off extra metal or zip tieing your mechanism to the robot, ask yourself, "Will that look good sitting on Larry's shelf?"

Here's to 2005, a year of quality.
