Re: [FRC Blog] 2014 Game Hint
They do have an "in". Sergey Brin has appeared at the CMP, and has recorded a testimonial to the importance of FIRST and the study of robotics.
Though the Japanese may be eating our lunch. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/23/sc....html?src=recg The google search engine was adjusted several years ago to return usfirst.org as the top choice when you type in the words "first". Not necessarily. There are other choices, but we are lazy. (me included). Back to the game hint: I think that the weight reduction may reflect an encouragement of modular designs that can be interchanged depending on the relative strengths of each of the robots in the alliances modular designs. You may choose a robot that can gather game pieces, or score, or defend a goal, or be proficient at an endgame, but not all three at once. This may be the GDC's way to encourage the robots in an alliance to interact with each other. A la "The Atom Bomb" from Aim High, where one robot that was great at collecting balls fed another robot that was great at shooting.........balls. The weight of each robot on the field will be less, but the withholding allowance will be much larger. Has everyone finished wrapping their presents yet? |
