Re: How slow is too slow?

Being from the same team as Tristan, I may be a bit bias. I did see a lot of games in that I was an announcer for 4 Regionals, Championships and an observer at 1 regional. Speed is good and speed is bad. If you can't control the robot at any speed then it is not good.

What I do agree with is that having only a 2 ft/sec difference isn't really worth the time to build or the weight that is generated. If you added 4 (double) to 6 ft/sec then the advantages could be seem and measured. IMHO our robot was a bit too fast for our driver (sorry Jon) but if he had more time to practice maybe it wouldn't have been. I did see a few matches that the dash from 1 end to the other was the reason that they won the match.

Right speed with right driver = success
