Go to Post With any dollar amount to invest I would be more interested in the number of individuals (students is too narrow) impacted than the number of teams created--after all, this is about people. - kramarczyk [more]

Re: Robot Aesthetic Appeal

To me, the best looking robot is the one that performs the game task(s) to the best of a teams ability. I don't think you need underglow or powdercoating to look or perform great.

Re: Robot Aesthetic Appeal

When our robot is made of aluminum, we like to anodizes our parts. It doesn't chip and last forever. Plus its from a sponsor.

Or, as the architect Buckminster Fuller said,

When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
