Basic Chassis 101...
The idea of having a working with standard extrustions 101 class, especially one that has a basic chassis design as a big part of the syllabus would be excellent.
In my mind, one of the saddest parts of a FIRST competitions is seeing folks that have worked hard for so long have such a lousy time because their robot only drives in circles (Clockwise, then Counter Clockwise, etc.) for two minutes. A good primer on getting a moving robot would be a huge huge huge bonus to a FIRST rookie camp.
Now if only FIRST would have a 1 day (or even several day) rookie camp on FRIDAY before the kickoff...
... we will have to work on them.
The 80/20 Class is a step in the right direction.
