Re: Team 78: American Robot is Back!!

Very cool. It's good to see that even with the changes this season you're still having fun. I always love seeing what the Rhode Warrio.... err... what the Air Strikers are up to.

I love the time-lapse sequences. I wish our team did some of those.

For those that don't know, these guys in Rhode Island are some of the best prototypers in FIRST. The American Robot episodes provide a unique look at their design process. It is awesome to watch concepts evolve from ideas into reality. If you want to understand the definition of iterative process check out this video.

I know 148 has struggled to emulate the way these guys prototype and evolve their designs. Everyone can learn something from our friends from Rhode Island.

I'm excited to see what the 78 robot looks like!
