Ditto to all previous posts. Finally, someone said what many of us have been thinking--just do it.

My absolute favorite part of the whole season--from kickoff to Championship finals is Thursday morning as I stroll about the pits and see how everyone solved the same problem I had, in a more innovative, efficient and simpler way. It's even more enjoyable when they've done better than what we thought was the best solution. I've stolen more ideas that way (oops, I meant borrowed). I really enjoy seeing other bots--especially those who have dared to be different.

Even though we'll probably only get 6 or 7 matches at most at the Championships, we were more than happy to spend all the money it took to get here; The experience for the students is priceless!
