Re: A Robot That Inspires You
Nearly every robot I've ever had the pleasure of looking at closely has had something that makes me pause in admiration, whether it's something I wish my team had thought of, something we did think of but didn't manage to bring to reality, or something we didn't even attempt. When you look at another team's robot, you're seeing the combined product of six weeks of brainpower from a group of both current and future engineers; I'd be surprised if you *didn't* find something to admire or look up to.
To answer the basic question, though...our robot was a hybrid, and we were quite happy with how well our designs worked out. After going through the process of trying to cram so much into one robot in one build season, every other hybrid made me pause and take a close look. The really effective ones impressed me, because I understand the amount of thought that must go into it to pull that off. 71 is the hybrid from this year that comes to mind most easily, after watching them on the Championship webcast.
