There's a world of difference between just getting a robot to work versus producing a world-class robot.
The mediocre do the minimum, then exclaim how easy it is.
The exceptional never stop to gloat... they're too busy figuring out new ways to make it even better... |
Well IDK
My mentors do not believe in the programmers... I wanted to make a robot that would be shooting accurately, well programming can't do crap if the robot hard ware does not allow for that to happen... From the first day of the video broadcast, I had a design for a shooter that will allow programming to do it's job to the full potential, got shot down as soon as I presented it, for being too complex for "Highschoolers to make" well I don't think we were motivated enough, the programmers had to play around with the old robotics for the first 4 weeks... When I run for team leader next year, I hope to change that... I was totally willing to work my $@#$@#$@# off for this since this was my first year... We don't even know what to do during autonomous period, and how many days do we have left? like 5? I personally feel offended for not getting worked harder
Our team focused too much on the hardware itself, but my self was saying software first from the beginning, taking into stanford's philosophy of software first. I wanted to focus on the software to handle almost every thing, but too bad that didnt happen
