FRC Robots Aren't Real Robots?

[Basel A]

I agree with the posts above saying that with no agreed-upon definition of "robot," this discussion is pointless. One thing I would add is that even within FRC, there's a wide range of technical complexities. At the lower end, FRC robots really are just advanced RC cars: open-loop control, no autonomous functioning. At the high end, FRC robots have industry-quality control schemes, are tracking targets and scoring in them. Some definitions of robot could split FRC into multiple categories.
