Re: Should teams be pushed to make higher quality robots?

It is not always possible for teams to create a robot that is "visually pleasing", but isn't that really apart of the challenge? It is difficult enough to finish the robot on time and some teams (including my own) have made adjustments that make the robots less professional looking. You know what though, I am glad we made those changes because it allowed for us to get a great robot functioning and competing despite its less lack of beauty. FIRST, however, does recognize a team's ability to make the robot neat, organized and more "professional" by awarding the Motorola Quality Award.


As for teams not working hard enough, I graciously disagree with that. Especially now, when companies are not able to contribute as much as they use to, it is unfair to point fingers and claim that due to lack of funding or resources a team has not been working hard enough. The challenge was not meant to be easy, if it was meant to be easy it wouldn't be much fun.

I really don't like seeing fights on CD, so lets please lets not continue this.
In Sanddrag's defense, I don't think he meant anything disrespectful by his opinion nor do I believe that he wanted to start a fight. It is glorious year 9 for me in FIRST and I admit that I still have a lot to learn about myself, my team and GP. I <3 FIRST!

GO FIRST!!!
