Wouldn't it be fun to beat the masters?

Wouldn't the advantage be theirs because they know what the challenge is going to be a long time before we do? Then again, some teams come up with very unusual designs...

I would only like to see it for fun and not competition.

Knowing the game gives SOME advantages, but they won't necessarily know which strategies will dominate until it's actually played.

Would be interesting to see them each make there own robot. And then play against each other at the Championships.

Dave...? Are you listening?


I would love to see them build a robot atleast for demonstration purposes.

The main question is, what color would the robots be?

[efoote868]

yellow of course. Green is taken by the light, red and blue are taken by the teams...

dave's hints could also be a specific part on his robot
that would be fun

I'm a little puzzled - no one person builds a robot so how would this work?

Well, Dean has a nice little team he calls Deka Research and Development Corp. Paul Gudonis has an impressive record as an administrator and business leader; he could put together a competitive team, too.

But Woodie is da man. All he would need to do is post a flyer at MIT, and students would be clamoring and climbing over each other to join his team, and the one he chose would work 24/7 to build the best 'bot anyone has ever seen. Woodie's team would own those other guys.
