Re: Multiples 2007
Lindsay those are some pretty harsh words from alum who hasn't seen our team since kickoff, nor had any hand in helping or assisting us this year, and to try and speak on our behalf is just rude. I will admit, I was the first one to speak up against identical robots, oh and how I was against it : ), but however that was a pride issue for me. My argument was always however, I want to help them... I just don't want 3 of the same. My engineers and mentors (Allison, Matt and others who have not posted yet) noticed that before me luckily. After this last 6 weeks, to have built 3 different robots would have been way crazy. Now I know they where right, And after working with the two teams, and meeting them, talking with them, and just hanging out with them, I do it again in a heartbeat triplet or not, if it means they all get one more year of first. I mean come on, it’s like being at a competition with other teams and such… but you’re building with them everyday! This was the most intense build I think our team has ever had, at least that I have been a part of, and not until near the last day did the mills finally turn off and the drill presses stop pressing, and our poor welder don’t get me started. So to all those who doubt, dismay and look down upon, let me tell you, we did this to help people, to allow these builders designers and everyone else, one more year building competitive robots.
