Re: Bad Robots

I agree with MrTechCenter

Biggest advice I can give is to not try and do too much in your first year. Too many teams (veterans included) try and do too many things and end up not being able to do any one thing well. Focus on getting a strong working drivetrain If you go with a basic tank drive (also my recommendation), use at least 4 cims). Many teams are looked over in alliance selection if they have a poor drivetrain even if they have functioning other parts of their robot. After you have a working drivetrain, focus on getting one mechanism working for the current years game. Like this year, an arm to posses the ball and let go will make you extremely valuable to teams at regionals. Finally, seek out veteran teams who seem to know what they are doing if you need help (you are already ahead in that aspect). Good Luck!
