Re: Our Bot

Hey, tough break, bud.

If it's any consolation, I am predicting that many of these bots will prove to be overdesigned and underproductive. The past two years, our bot has been exceedingly simple (our first year we could blow boxes, and our second year we could deliver balls well), and we made it into the finals both times. If you can move a lot of tetras, you'll be worth it to someone. In fact, I'm worried about my team this year precisely because we can stack--I don't like not being able to score often.
