Re: Chasis Survey
Looking at the new KOP, there are some nice point about it, and some problems with it. It's a step in the right direction, especially with the old KOP being around for as long as it has.
That being said, I'm very very annoyed that it wasn't released before kickoff. There's absolutely no reason why a few images couldn't have been shared with the community to give us an idea of what the drivetrain would be. If you assemble it to max dimensions, it won't give away any aspects of the game (this discussion has happened already on CD).
We probably wouldn't have gone with the kitbot this year had we know what it was. The $450 voucher would have been a lot more useful to a team with limited funds like us, but right now, we're stuck with a kitbot we're probably not going to use. Struggling to get funds to purchase motors and motor controllers (and other parts) because you were unable to make a reasonable decision on the kitbot since it will somehow "give away the game" doesn't seem like a good way to start the season...

...regardless of anything that happens, there should be no booing at competitions, only cheers. True, many of us want to win, but in the end, all of us are working to expand FIRST and to promote the inspiration and recognition of science and technology through gracious professionalism. - Aignam [more]
