 I think these new rules are making the message coming from FIRST perfectly clear - engineering is about what happens between your ears, not what comes out of your deep pockets. - KenWittlief [more] |

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.
