Re: Pitfalls to avoid when brainstorming the 2011 game and robot

Avoid "Not reading the manual" before you start creating a strategy.
Avoid "Designing a robot" before you have an agreed strategy.
Avoid "Not being all together on a strategy" before moving forward with a design.

One key, esspecialy for newer teams, is to understand that the game rule book and design requirements are requirements, not suggestions.

You must fit inside the space requirements.
You must be under the weight requiremets.
You can only use the approved motors, epectronics, wire sizes, etc.
