When good robots go bad...

[Madison]

or, "When Your Ambitious Plans Don't Quite Work Out."

It seemed to me that, as I posted photographs of my team's robot, most people didn't completely grasp its design intent. I was purposefully a bit vague; both because it was fun and because we knew that the design was ambitious and just might not work.

I thought it'd be fun to share this photo that I came across in our gallery that shows the robot as it was intended to operate.



I hope that the team can make it work for the Championship, because it sure would be nice to see it deployed out on the field like that just once..

So -- does anyone else care to share their stories about what their robot was
supposed to do this year or years passed? I think it's sometimes fun to see how we find alternate functions for mechanisms or pare down our design strategies when our ambition exceeds our current abilities
