Re: Best Is Good

Best robotics is a very good program. Team 647 is a central Texas team, we participate in both BEST and FIRST, and they both definitely have different challenges to overcome and require loads of creativity. I am a programmer on my team so best is not as fun for me because it is very limited in the control system side of the robot but it is nice because it gives me some time to get my hands a little dirty in the mechanical side of things. Our robot for best this year in some respects is more complicated than anything we have built for First because it has a double articulated arm, which is something we have never tried with first (it is amazing what you can do with plywood, springs, and nylon string).
We also use best as an introduction to robotics for our rookie members, our upperclassmen and I try to act as mentors for the new people on the team, so they are ready for first and understand the six week time period and also the design process.
Another thing is that compared to other FIRST teams we have a small machine shop with just a couple drill presses, band saws, and a sheet metal break, but at BEST, we have one of the better machine shops of the teams.
