Go to Post For example an iron block is very simple and very robust. Strap a control system on it and it will meet the requirements of being a FIRST robot. However, it sure doesn't do very much, nor is it innovative. - sanddrag [more]

Ok, I take full credit (and full responsability) for the power plant. In the beginning when Gutgarts assigned me to make a "power plant," the first thing I thought of was a nuclear power plant.

So I started on it, and as I did it, I was under the impression of all current forms of energy are bad (as you can tell, I'm a bit pessimistic when it comes to people saving the enviornment). I am aware now that nuclear power plants do not necessarily pollute the air (I still do not agree with it being the best source of energy, but that's not what this is about).

I did not plan on worrying about this, or else I would have started over. I prepared the second draft of the narration, in which it had a very brief explaination of the power plant, but this wasn't carried over to the final narration. Believe me, it made a lot more sense before the revision.

Any more questions about the power plant should be directed towards me.
