Re: Hey! Your robot looks like mine!
I can say from being in FIRST for 5 years, the differences in robots will blow your mind. Only once have I seen two robots that look alike on CD, or anywhere, period, but that's another story. Leave it there... Even if many teams do pick to use the kit frame, so what the frame will be similar, and the motors may be similar with the new gearbox from FIRST. And yeah, I kind of have the feeling that a 6 wheel system is the new "shift on the fly gearbox". It's like it's a new fad in FIRST, but that's how you know something new is around the corner, that some team is going to do something that just makes you go "GOLLY GE WHIZZERS! That's about the most incredable thing ever!"
Having things look alike, no, not really. Getting blown away by how many different ways teams do the same thing with the same part, in an elegant, yet simple way. Happens at about every pit.
