Re: Quality of Regionals

One of the biggest things I think is a current problem is that I see teams over engineering their machines. Being able to do one or two things well and consistently is very important and lends to a successful machine. I see many teams go and design their robot for all parts of the game and then find out none of their systems work the way they need to. Ive observed larger teams with the ability to do this but for the majority of FIRST they dont have what it takes to master this complete multitasking machine. My team year after year has success just doing one or two things really well. To me this is what alliances are for, checks and balances between three machines, strategizing. I think just having two machines that do the same thing well duke it out is the most exciting aspect of a match.Please correct me if Im wrong

Just my two sense
-Pat
