Re: GP? I think not.

There are times i really really really like seeing these engineer managed bots go out there. why? because it gives me a higher tier to aim for, Another layer of competition. Also by seeing these robots i've been exposed to so many new concept ideas and mechanisms, also really really good design practices. I am proud to say we are a majority student built robot. I'd also like to proudly say that a student built robot is quite capable or tying the success or clearly beating these "engineer" bots (We've given 1114 there only elimination loss this year). I love having them because it adds a whole new level to the competition, and whole new platform to surge for.

Look on youtube for IRI 2006 matches, ours is the fridge that helped take down the world champs, finalists and regional winners out the wazoo, many of these teams would fall under your category, We came out on top it can be done.

If your ever at a competition with us come by and i'll show the drivtrain i myself designed
