Re: Is there a Need for Speed???

from what i have seen and experienced i would say that a robot will need speed and torque at the same time for the competition. first off you want your robot to hit the 10 point ball as quick as possible. you also need speed to gather the small ball around and pass it to your human player (this was pointed out before in this thread). i believe that there will be teams who will try to get on the platform as quickly as possible, so after gathering the small balls the robot needs to get on the platform where speed and torque both needed at the same time. once you are on the platform you might need to keep other bots off the platform in order to hang, so there goes for torque one more time...

But yes, I think speed is essential, this year. With so many tasks to be done, and so many levels for these tasks to be done on, even if your robot only intends to perform a few tasks particularly well, you still need a robot that can move across the field and from level to level quickly. A robot that is on the hanging bar before any others is also going to have a one-up on the other teams.

EDIT: After having read the rest of the posts on the thread:

This year is going to be the year of drive team cooperation. You need a quality robot, a quality human player, a quality driver, and a quality coach to keep your quality drive team's head from exploding.

Speed is essencial, So is a driver like you. Things look great this year.Good Robot+Good Driver+Good Programmer+Good Battery Management(enuf with this last year) = Winning a Game
