Re: BotsIQ
Ok, my team used to compete in the BBIQ every year until we decided to switch to FIRST. We tried to do both of them last year, but could not pull it off due to schedule problems. Like was said before, they are alot different. That does not mean that you can not apply what you know from one to the other. For instance, my team knows all about durability. Our bots have been tipped repeatedly, fell off of other bots last year from a foot and landed on its side, this past year we had a team do nothing but try and destroy our robot, we have taken ramming from acrossed the field. All of this and we have yet to have a bot break. Why? Because after having someone come after your work with a chain saw, a little fall seems like nothing. If you need to work on your defense, there is no better place then the BBIQ.
