Re: Are they really robots?
In the WPI Robotics Engineering Department, the general (read: boiled down) definition of the robot is a machine that can sense the world, make "decisions", and act upon the world.
IMHO FIRST robots are true robots in that sense during the :15 of autonomous. However, many robots continue to use sensors throughout teleoperated. So, while they're not entirely autonomous, they're still performing autonomous tasks throughout the entire match and are thus robots.
