A defensive robot is also key to preventing the opposing shooters from scoring on the rest of the field. Keep in mind that your opponents have a strategy that they must stick to in order for them to work effectively. A defensive robot's job is to break this strategy by running around the field, bumping and pushing other robots. A top notch defensive robot will match the best shooter out there.
What came first: the student or the mentor?
I see people show up to a competition with their masterpiece, and proud of it. They are inspired by what they have accomplished. To make it onto the field is a high-it is the culmination of the thousands of hours of dedication compromises and commitment. They feel on top of the world. That's FIRST. - fox46 [more]
