I learned that in 03 with Stack Attack as a team leader. Tried to get our robot to do to many things, and it did nothing well at all. Now as a Mentor I stress simple designs, especially with the resources our team has. Last 2 years we have had very few mechanical issues and have a competitive bot, maybe not the best, but one that always gives you a chance to win.
