Ah, Battlebots... that site is my inspiration for robot construction ideas. If a robot can survive a battle against saws, hammers, and spikes, then it can survive in a FIRST competition.
Wouldn't it be cool if FIRST had a competition by weight divisions, with a different challenge for each weight class? Teams could build little VEX lightweights or 230 pound super-heavyweight robots. Then depending on how much funding the team has, they enter in a different weight class. Okay, I'm getting off topic...
