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

The "Amish-bot" will have no plastic on it, or metal for that matter... You'll just have to wait and see at Beantown.

BTW, GUS V9.0 will still be there, ready to take on the rest of New England, again. The "Amish-bot" will be a side-show spectacle with plenty of photo opportunities.

No no no, you misunderstood me I think... lol I didn't hear about Amish-Bot from Samm. I told her about the bolt-on skateboard ramp idea of mine when we were in Boston for the regional almost too late to implement even back then...

I found out about Amish-Bot from another (digital-type) source.
And if it's going to be all wood, you should throw some of these on it:

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

I know with my team no one likes to take the easy way out -_-;;

I think you dismiss great ideas like that because everytime you have an idea that would be a simple answer to a complicated problem you can't help but think it can't possibly work that way to easy...and then you make a complicated thing....and it doesen't work becuase its complicated...and then some uses the easy idea that you were sure never would of worked...I don't know how many times that happened to me ;-;

Also great ideas always happen after build season because of trial and error. You see what worked for people and what didn't. Its either that
-or-
the robotics gods just plain don't like you =p!
