Concerning Bubble Machines...

[Eric Reed]

I noticed a question in the FIRST forum about bubble machines used as a non-functional decoration. I was surprised that FIRST did not strongly recommend against this.

I request that the team that asked this question really consider the permanent effect bubbles might have on their robot, on other robots, and the effect they would have on the COF of the ramp. On the off-chance that the refs let you go on with a bubble machine, I think you would probably not make friends on the field.

Thanks!

Eric.
