Re: Thoughts on Ri3D and BuildBlitz

I agree with a previous poster that the three day robots have the right to do what they're doing. However, I'm still unsure if I like the Ri3D teams or not

PROS-
We end up with competitive teams that are fun to watch
Week 1 regionals in 2012 were pretty darn awful to watch because teams were so bad
Experienced teams who know that certain things will work really well don't have a massive advantage any more.

CONS-
There are tons of clones of robots out there.
A moderately competitive team now doesn't stand out as much from a Ri3D copy.
(this could be seen as a pro for some teams)
Less fun to design and prototype your robot.
