Re: Robot Diversity

Ocassionally this is a matter of perception. I remember walking into FRC in 2006 and seeing massive diversity, as my understanding was limited and my horizons defined by what I saw at competition. When you have never seen a roller claw or swerve drive before, the competition can easily look incredibly diverse, even from a distance.

I personally don't remember a major amount of robot diversity after 2007, but I think it was more that I became used to the FRC norm.
