Re: What FIRST did RIGHT...
I'll tell you something they did right...FOUR CIM MOTORS! WOOHOO!
C'mon, you know you enjoyed watching Dean drive that 2WD robot at Kickoff. That was the squirrelliest robot (if there is such a thing--if not, substitute "most difficult to control, but most fun to watch") I've ever seen, but I'll bet that it has plenty of potential...especially if you added some ballast to it. (I saw they started off with some extra ballast on it during Kickoff...I'll bet there was a bit of room for more.)
All in all... \m/
