Re: Mechanical vs. Software Engineering.

From experience, trying to program a robot that is mechanically not up to par (ie. Underpowered articulating arm) to be controllable is impossible. However, not doing a good job programming a perfectly engineered robot is equally distressing. For both the fields of computerfscience and mechanical engineering to flourish, atleast in regards to a FIRST team, one must do quality mechanical design and programming. My point being that without one the other is nothing.
