Re: Are FIRST robots actually robots?
I dont know about you but i've never seen an RC car with the following AUTOMATIC features:

> Auto Targeting
> Auto Firing
> Dynamic Braking
> Sensors/Limit Switches
> Logical semi-automatic operation (such as ball elevators with escapements)
> Autonomous operation, even if it is short.

There's no way you can call these things big RC cars, especially the ones from this year. I'd also like to add that it would be nice to see an increase in the autonomous time limit, maybe to 20s~30s....
