Re: Define "ROBOT"

I really dont see whats wrong with what they have done. Basicly instead of switching out a manipulator, they are switching out a drivebase. It is all still run by the same electrons, so theoretically it is the same robot. They meet the weight limitations, which must have limited their design capabilties significantly, equating any advantages they get by have two "robots". Just because they named them differently, doesn't constitute different robots, you could name your arms different things and that doesn't count as two robots.

Simply put I think its rediculous that they were rejected bearing in mind the kept all materials for both robots under 120 lbs. I think they should be aloud to play as they please with either drivetrain. I commend them for attempting to build a mini-bot on its own, but the fact that they've designed a second bot, with a different strategy, using the same electrons it quite impressive. I hope if they attend a second regional, the GDC will reconsider and allow the use of both drivetrains.
