Re: The History of Cheesecake with Brando. 1/23 8:30pm EST on Candidly Speaking

I'm curious to see what the panel says, but 2014 and 2015 were really the years where "cheesecaking" became "a thing." There were various isolated incidents before that, mostly regarding ballast or defensive blockers being tacked onto 3rd partners (sometimes at the expense of pre-existing mechanisms). I remember a few stories dating back to 2006 of things like bench vises being tip tied onto lightweight robots to make them better defenders, or defensive robots removing top-heavy shooter mechanisms and replacing them with down-low ballast. And quite a few teams added shot blockers in 2013, but it's hard to know which were "cheesecaked" and which were teams working on their own. Prior to 2015, when teams showed up with pre-made mechanisms for whoever was lucky enough to be their partner, the line between "cheesecaking" and simply working with other teams at events to improve robots was much blurrier.
