So in order to be a good bot, it's best to do just one thing, and do it well. Ultimately, the winners are the alliances that have one robot do only one thing, and the other do only one other thing. 2002 Ex: One bot controls goals, and the other bot fills them with balls.


Back to the main thread topic, one thing our team sacrificed was the need to have a fancy, complicated robot. It's much simpler than in previous years, which should help us in the long run. A simple design decreases the chance of finding unforeseen problems that we have to fix.
