Why weren't there more teams like this? No offense to 4451, they are a great team. However, if a rookie can build a robot that can deliver consistently enough to do this, why didn't more teams? Someone please correct me if there were but I don't remember any other bots off the top of my head that did that.
Engineering rules of thumb don't form the garbage that goes into the making of the robot. They take the garbage of the real world and turn it into more pure, if slightly diluted, data. - DampRobot [more]
