And so are robots in dirt.


Wait - that's not how that goes...


My point is that sure dirt harms robots, but air harms robots. If you want a robot that will never break, then make a pretend robot, (or call it "Pioneer" or "Voyager", that seems to have a good effect). I think that we should give the FIRST teams a chance to surprise us, by throwing a complete curveball like a new playing surface.

And you guys have all taken a look at Dave's story about how well robots not designed for water handled a water-covered field, haven't you? I'm sure that robots designed for dirt could handle a dirt field at least as well.


Speaking of - Dave still hasn't told us his idea. Whatdya got?
