yea but its pre-made. That's really the only thing that bugs me. We didn't use it because we thought it would make other teams mad or something, so its not that I didn't consider it either. But yea, i see your point and I'm sorry for sounding a bit rash on that. its not like i'm going around sayng "no" to people who used it and giving them negative rep. or anything. Just saying that it seems kind of unethical.
I 100% agree. I understand that it is not illegal to use it. I just feel that it's a cop out because of the fact that it's so much pre-made. If you are going to use a claw, which I feel is a good idea, build one. Dean Kamen always likes to see innovation. I claw well built will be more innovative rather than just sticking a pre-built think on a fully unique robot.
