But it's the restrictions on materials that gives us all the fantastic engineering challenge in FIRST! This is where creativity works best, when you only have a certain set of materials to design around to accomplish a task. This is real life engineering, I may be a student, but one thing I've learned about the engineering world, is that everything is not as ideal as the theories you work with. There are restrictions to everything and anything, and you learn to deal, or you find another profession. What are you learning with Battlebots? To beat the living daylights out of each other?? Obviously not to accept the challenges of real world engineering.
