Re: Did FIRST underestimate us?
In stacking tetra's I don't think FIRST ever tries and underestimate us. They posed a challenge, and teams have stepped up to the proverbial plate and accepted that challenge.


As for the CMU Cam.. I don't know how to react to that.. It is kind of sad that only 2 teams have capped in autonomous mode this year so far.
edit: Hopefully the camera will be included in next year's kit as well, and more teams will try it. I think it really is a great element in the robot design phase, and I hope to see it again next year and used by more teams.

But, the same thing happened with the gyro in 2001. Only some teams made it work successfully to their advantage and most didn't even try it.
