Re: why sooo many bad robots in 07
A couple of thoughts:
1) trying to propagate "a outrance". I mean, if you want to have a first team in every high school in the US, the quality of the average highschool will diminish.
2) some hybrid robots were successful. I am obviously thinking about my team (469), but also 27, 47, 503, ... I would not want to discourage any team for setting the bar very high for themselves. Aim Higher was the moto last year: try to always do more than you think you can. You might not succeed, but the higher you aim, the higher you'll reach. (if that made any sense)
3) help IS available, it is however not easy to access/get aware of.
4) i do not like the title of this thread. There is no such thing as a "bad robot", unless its written for yourself only in your scouting sheets.
5) i actually think many teams did a surprisingly good job. I've seen very young team come up with audacious scorers. Last year was more veteran oriented than this year in my opinion.
Anyhow... only throwing ideas around as usual
Francois.
