FIRST is making their decisions, we are not being forced to compete in FRC, get over the update, get over each other, and make your robot!  |
I have to say, this is probably my favorite post. The truth, the real bottom line. Things CHANGE. We are an organization of engineers or at-least engineer-like minds.....since when do things not change. Somebody tell me one robot they built that not one thing changed. Whether it be a controled factor or not.
It's a trade off. Bigger play radius, more contraints on the mini bot. I see nothing wrong with that.
P.S. FTC, VRC....can you say NASCAR vs IRL?
Both are the same "sport" both have their parts and their rules. We compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition, therefore I don't see it unreasonable to use FTC parts, if this were something different then I would make that claim later.
