Go to Post In my opinion, the hardest part of the competition is not that actual manufacture of the robot, but the design process. It is the enginners that go through the design process all the time that will have the edge in this competition, not the best machinist. - Wetzel [more]

Re: What do you want your robot to do?

Yeah, swiss army bots rarely actually work out in practice quite the way that they worked in theory. You're spreading precious resources, like time, far to thin, and the result can often be that your robot CAN do many thinjgs, but none very well at all. Specializing this year is MUCH easier than it was last year because the large point boosters all result from roughly the same thing, "stacking." Our team will be going for a bot that stacks, and stacks well
