Re: Any other teams building more than 1 robot?

Though I'm sure two bots is advantageous.. I wonder if it's really in the spirit of FIRST to build two. It seems to me that the 6 weeks allotted to the teams from Early January to Late February is meant for Design, Build, Program, Debug, and Train. Having the second bot after the deadline to continue to Program, Debug, and Train is a grey area FIRST hasn't addressed. I'm going to bring this up to a few people and see how people feel about it.

Perhaps some guidelines on the matter will be published in next years game.

As far as the team I mentor, we are a very "by the book" sort of team, and until it is addressed specifically, and we are given the go ahead, we will continue to build only one robot.
