Basically, what I got out of your last post was the kids told you what they wanted the robot to do, then Delphi, using what it seemed to be infinite pocketbook (around a few hundred grand), and its expert engineers (which specialized in the field) AND Delphi’s connections made the robot work. I can't see how it was entirely necessary investing so much money into the project, seems how we made it to the finals using only a fraction of that amount.
I heard you guys have another Chief Delphi robot with more advanced and revised systems you are planning to use at the Nationals, rather than the one you used at the Jersey Competition. Well, if that’s true, I can’t see it being very fair. Perhaps you can clarify that for me.
I'd also like to know if the students actually played a key role in the construction of the robot, or if their hands on experience was more revolved around assembling the Chief Delphi after all the major components had been built.
