Smile Re: TEAM 1699 BUILD CONCEPT!

When my first team (1018 go ROBODEVILS!!!) started, we had a hard time doing anything more than building one robot. When we finally made the decision to build a second version it was a great advantage for the drivers.
Once you make the decision to do it, you can invest and use that controller for the next year's 2nd bot.

I would strongly suggest that anyone thinks about it seriously. It is a great test bed in the off season and can be loaned out.

This year on 1983 we are building two drive bases...and we are inviting any other Seattle/Washington teams over to practice driving the one that stays home. It may only be a drive base but from my experience, just driving around on a large field can help immensely.

The experience of standing up and driving up on a regulation size field is quite important.

Acquiring the FIRST objects is very difficult at distance. Getting that perspective on a full size field can be extremely helpful. Just standing and driving back and forth or up and down is also helpful.

We invite anyone over to our place to try out their robot or use one of ours just to drive around... get the feel fo a field... become friends!!!

We hope to see you here!!!
