Re: Rookie Design

I just got back from Lone Star Regionals. And as some of you might know 1902 (otherwise known as Exploding Bacon) competed there. I was so impressed with their design because they kept it simple. It seems like a mistake that many veteran teams make is trying to do everything in an overly complicated way. 1902 just focused on the corner goal and they were awesome (which is an understatement). By perfecting that task they were able to dominate. And their drive train was amazing for a rookie team. We didn't have a drive train nearly that awesome when we were a rookie team. If I remember correctly they had 6WD with 2 speeds. Anyways, it's been a long day so I'm not going to rant. Keep up the awesome work 1902!!! Oink Oink Boom!!
