The Big Question
Posted by Mike.
Student on team #175, Buzz, from Enrico Fermi High School and UTC - Hamilton Standard Space Systems. Posted on 7/15/99 11:23 PM MST The 1999 FIRST season has pretty much come to a close. But there's still one big question: what do we think of alliances? I think 'alliances' are a big deal because it is very possible they will be added to next years game. As Dean would say 'maybe they will or maybe they won't.' What would you prefer? I personally would not like to see alliances included next year. I don't think the ability of another robot should take away from your rank. I noticed during the competitions many people would look at our robot, ask where we ranked and then walk away shaking their head. This year Buzz could do it all, pick-up floppies, lift 10 floppies above 8ft, climb on the puck, grab the pole and pull itself up... but there's one thing Buzz couldn't do and that's decide our alliances. We were graced with much misfortune when it came to alliances. During three seeding matches at The Rumble at the Rock our partners flipped over and disabled themselves. This made it very difficult for us to do well, and quite frankly took the fun out of the game. I can only speak for myself but I became very frustrated with the game. Which is too bad because I love the idea of FIRST. I guess I'm done rambling now...but, what do you think? |
