Ryan Meador will become famous soon enough
I believe you have gotten the wrong idea of our team We have plenty of coaches, most of which are professional engineers, and the students have been doing training exercises for months (we built a warwagon, from brainstorming to metalworking and assembly). This year we even have a good budget. But we have a miracle-worker of an engineer who said it was exceedingly complicated to pull off a good hybrid (remember: "jack of all trades, master at none"). Last year we made a do-everything bot that ended up being mediocre... the previous year we had built a single-task bot and it was great! (perhaps you remember the grasshopper robot?) When I said the only good hybrids would be built professionally, I mean they would be machined by professional machinests who are being paid to do it, on CNC machines, and made out of solid titanium (ok, I'm exaggerating a little...)
