Go to Post It would be wise to consider the reasoning behind the statement rather than the statement itself. Sometimes they are right... other times their statement is incomplete... and other times they really do have no clue what they are talking about. - dtengineering [more]

I expect that 2014, with 5 (or possibly 6?) Ri3Ds to use as an example, what we'll see is increased diversity, but still a stifling of the really off the wall ideas.
I guess I just don't get these arguments. 2013 was by far the most diverse for robot design combinations since I began in 2009.

I also saw very few clones of the 2013 Ri3D robot design, unless you consider every wall pickup shooter / 10 point hanger a "clone." That was a successful strategy with or without Ri3D. Floor pick up and climbing above the 10 point level was a bit tricky.

I'm hoping Ri3D / Build Blitz improve the level and depth of competition in 2014. It's still too difficult to fill a 24 robot pick list at most regionals.
