DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals June 5-6

I personally think any student should be allowed to participate, as long as he/she is helpful and active. FIRST, to me, is about inspiration, not elitism. - Aignam [more]

Talking to the members of my schools team. The reason that humanoid is because they are built to operate in areas built for humans. Driving a car, walking up stairs, opening a door are just some of the things that are built for humans. Just because the DRC checked for certain tasks, doesn't mean they are the only tasks they will go against in a real world application.
