Re: 2007 Official FRC Game Hint / Email Blast
i really like the idea mentioned on the previous page about robots with no wheels. most robots arent on wheels, they are stationary and perform a task like that. i think the cooperation needed by alliances if they cannot move, as well as the inginuity required to build a good stationary manipulator is just what FIRST is trying to teach us. I dont think the clue is suggesting this though, unless its a 5 vs. 0 challenge. If not this year, i think it would be nice to see a stationary robot challenge in the future. One thing to keep in mind though is, robots on wheels are more entertaining, and FIRST draws in support by looking cool with science and stationary bots just dont look as cool.
