Re: Should teams be pushed to make higher quality robots?

Of course we push teams to make better quality robots. That's why there are inspections. That's why we answer questions for whoever visits our pits. It is why we proudly post pictures of assemblies and robots. But more importantly, a quality robot in my mind, is one who accomplishes the tasks and keeps working match after match. It is a robot that is efficient in design, elegant in it's use of the parts provided, and just plain cool to see. To paraphase a famous judge, Quality is not something I can really define, but I know it when I see it.
