Re: Off Season Events: How much do you change your robot?
My team is supported by the boyscouts (Venture crew 308) instead of a school. With that, we often go to boyscout events and let the kids control the robot. Last year with the balls and all, it was pretty simple to let them do that. It's not so easy to kill with a ball-gathering robot but they still almost did more damage to the robot than competitions. This year, with the arm we have, I'm wondering how we're going to let them drive it. Our arm is a pointy stick! I'm thinking we add pillows or something to the front of it so that nobody gets stabbed.
Aside from precautions for kids, I haven't immagined changing the robot's design. If anything, we'd probably change the hand's design again to make it work better because the hand is the most simple part. In the end, it will probably stay unchanged.
