Re: Why do my best robot design ideas always come when the season is almost over?

this year i had a really good idea for build.... it was a hybred, but a little complicated, i built a model out of k'nex, and the kid who did the designing for 1694's bot shot it down...

i had the best k'nex machine for triple play and FF Raising the bar too, all built with knex, i also had one for Aim high.

(pics)





note, this was just in the planning stages, i had this thing built by Saturday night of the kickoff.

Re: Why do my best robot design ideas always come when the season is almost over?

Likewise I always come up with good ideas after the game is over. I guess it is because I actually have time to sleep and rest so my brain can think properly. That is just a theory. Also because during the build season I am trying so hard to solve a problem, I fail to see the simplest of solutions even if they are right in front of my face.

I have a neighbor who has one of those ramps and I almost ran over it with my car because they left it in the street. It was on the side and I wondered how much air I would get but still my grandmother wouldn't approve so I drove along...I saw this but failed to remember it was FIRST related.
