QUESTION OF THE WEEK!!! [08-19-01]
Hi all, as most of you know, one of the most important parts of the robots we built for the FIRST robotics competition is the control system. No matter how different robots look like, or how complex/simple was a machine designed for the games, the control system is always the part that remains pretty much identical in every single robot. People might even consider that system as the brain or heart of the robot¡K The system is a great opportunity for learning and challenges, and most of the teams from the past years have had at least one year of experience with the Innovation FIRST control system, well, even if it means only using the default program for basic competition usage¡K So, with that in mind, here is the question of the week¡K

QUESTION 8/26/01: How many robot controllers does your team have and what do you do with them?

A little reason for asking this question, is that some people are trying to get teams to use their controllers to make things that would better their community... Seems like a pretty cool idea...

Have fun,
