Has anyone else had this trouble with the voting system? I personally don't think a robot should be built based simply on the will of the majority...

IMO the best way to come to conclusions is to test everyone’s ideas and decide what works best. After a little CAD work and a few prototypes it quickly becomes apparent what works and what doesn't. The only problem with this method is that there is rarely enough time to test everyone’s ideas.

Yeah, we had the same problem this year. Didn't come up with a Jam proof hopper until week 4. It didn't Jam, but it really slowed us down :/.
