Re: why sooo many bad robots in 07

My idea of a 'bad' robot is one that has a low performance level to what it was designed to do. If it was designed for a certain task or tasks and it does not perform them well, than it's a 'bad' robot in my opinion.

Therefore...I believe that robots arn't getting their chances to work to their performance because of the defense that is necessary. Pushing robots > Aiming Arms. That makes robots that could do well fail because of their inability to get their chance.

This year is a headache. There is so much aggravation and annoyances that is involved in this year that you just want to scream and punch a wall. You have to watch for the moving rack, you have to watch for the defenseive powerhouses, you have to wait through a 15 second 'waiting' period, you have to get lifted by a robot with ramps that are mostly huge and clunky, rules and rulings are tossed around...it can drive people crazy. It translates into robots that can't preform to their standards.
