the only problem is, if you use more pneumatics, you need larger/more accumulators, you need a bigger compressor, you need a stronger battery, and so on, and that means it will wind up weighing much more than it does now. then we come back to the whole problem of fitting it through a standard size door. i think that no matter how the game changes, the size will never change. eventually, FIRST might allow heavier robots, but that's a big if. especially if there's only four people on the field, you can't make the robot too heavy. the only way around that is if they let you wheel the robot onto the field, although that could damage the carpet, so i doubt that.
i'm not saying i oppose changes to size and weight, it's just that it would be a very difficult thing for FIRST to do. |
