Re: Biggest Challenge of '05
Center of gravity. To place the tetra ontop, you're going to need a long arm. When you have 9, 18, 27 lbs of weight on the end, your center of gravity is going to shift. If you don't fall then, you're going to fall if you get nailed.

The noobies with prebuild chassis is a challenge too. But then again, it's a good thing for teams that are new, and getting started. |

Re: Biggest Challenge of '05
Well, more than simply giving the newbies simply a bolt together chassis, a 4 motor drive train transimission is included, reducing the advantage other teams have gained by using 4 and 6 motor drive trains in previous competitions. This helps FIRST two fold. It reduces the time intensive requirements rookie teams have had in the past developing a drive base for the first time, allowing for greater innovation and creativity for rookie teams. Additionally, it poses a greater challenge to veteran teams, inspiring kids to think up new ways to perform better, because even rookies will have powerful 4 motor drive train transmissions. But yes, the chassis and drive train components this year available to the rookie teams will certainly prove to be a challenge for vets.

Re: Biggest Challenge of '05
I think the most challenging part of this game is to come up with a mechanism that can handle one or more tetras and still be high enough to cap the middle goal. Also the coaches have a big part this year because they have to correspond with 2 teams instead of one and they still have to figure what is going on in the field.

Re: Biggest Challenge of '05
We built the kit bot yesterday
It isn't that great. The chassis flexes somethin' terrible. The tyranny is ok but the weight Fun toy though... |
