Re: why sooo many bad robots in 07

I haven't seen alot of bad robots that were bad because they tried to do everything, though I do not deny their existence. I've seen alot of bad robots because of a poor gripper, or a poor drivetrain. Usually, it has been a poor gripper. By poor gripper I mean slow grab, poor hold, slow release, awkward release onto the rack, holding the tube vertically or worse, etc. Also, there are a few that attempted to be ramps only, but failed, or ended with sub-par ramps.

I agree that there are alot of bad robots, but I disagree that there are more bad robots than normal.
