Re: What will be more important?
Speed to me is important but not as important as torque. If you can make a robot go fast, IMO* its like saying "catch me if you can," and whenever the fast bot is caught it gets beat up because it can not stand its ground. Although you should be able to be fast and agile to be able to deflect a defensive maneuver by the other team, I believe that you should be able to stand your ground. This is what I learned last year when watching some of the regionals and comparing it to a match or two of our own robot. That although we were fast, we got pushed around in key spots where if we had a little more power, we would have been able to make some big plays.
Of course this is me, and many of my peers disagree, but I think torque > speed.
Pavan.
*In My Opinion
