Re: Low vs. High robot poll

3824 elected to try low bar for a few reasons. Most of it is related to competing at Palmetto this year (week 0).

1/ it's easy to make a small robot big, it isn't easy to make a big robot small. E.g. If it doesn't work, we can adapt easily.
2/ defenses are critical. If we had to knock out all defenses on our own, low bar is easier and faster than category C (dealing with week 0)
3/ build season stops at the end of your last tournament. Starting low makes it easier to adapt from regional to regional (compact design and low CG)

Most importantly we are testing Newtons 4th Law: all 3824 Robots will weigh 121 lbs on the night of bag and tag.

It would be cool to repeat the poll at week 6 to see what happens. That all said, watch for 3824's tall robot in Palmetto.
