[MCC] Minimum Competitive Concept 2012

[FrankJ]

So for minimums here. They can be adapted to work with any game

First read & understand the rules. Understand what your robot can do to play the game. Make sure your drive team understands the game, can communicate with & work with its alliance partners. This is one thing that can be done even with minimum physical resources.

Second make a robot that can move reliably. It needs to be able to cross the bump or pull down the bridge & cross it. If it moves reliably it can be the second robot on a balance. along with understanding the rules, it can play defense.

Third it needs to be able to score something in hybrid. Points lost there it can never get back.

Do these three & you have a good chance of a second pick. If your are an alliance captain then you are already doing more the minimum
