Re: My only complaint

i'm sorry about your experience... those people who dissed your robot have no right to call themselves FIRSTers. They should know better, and they should be ashamed of themselves. clearly they missed Woodie and Dean's speech about making your GREAT grandmother proud... -sighs- oh well. your robot performed wonderfully at its job. you made it to the championship event AND you were ranked 8th! without having a ramp or scoring ringers! you should be SO proud of yourselves! i know i would be.

ok maybe the machine itself wasnt simple (designing everything in pro-e beforehand is NOT easy.. i helped out a little my freshman year and totally didnt have the patience for that kind of perfectionism), but our idea for the design was pretty straightforward, especially the design for the hooks. it took a lot of prototypes, but the final design was simple, therefore it worked effectively.

remember KISS: Keep It Simple, S____! the last S is always different.. but the idea remains the same. Simplicity always works best, especially in engineering. the less moving parts you have, the less chance you have for something to go wrong, and the less you have to worry about needing to fix anything if it does go wrong, and the easier it is to fix, which is always a plus.
