Re: FRC too easy...we're done :)

Someone once said, "I know what finished is, and I know what a robot is, but what is this finished robot you speak of?"

Or, as someone else (from 222, I think) said in 2005(?), "Finish... what an interesting concept. I'm still trying to do that with our 2003 bot."

The point is, you ARE NOT done at this point. You won't be done until the robot goes into its crate after your last event of the year. Even then, you still aren't done until you finish your last offseason. I have seen a team modify their robot post-season...and do better than they did in the regular season.

Oh, and I'm going to have to call you on that 80 points. That's 8 hurdles in two minutes, which means an average of one every 15 seconds. (Or, what's harder, 20 herds or 40 laps without a trackball.) You might be able to do that with a clear field, but there are five other robots out there. I want to see a picture of the robot, if you think you can do it without compromising secrets. (And if it's a freshman in aluminum foil...)
