: I'm back and I really need to know this. Are any of the other teams considering to lay the goals down horizontally rather than vertically. And if not why? Also if you throw out this whole way of thinking. Tell me. I need to know.

Andre:

We're thinking of it. But nothing firm. We suggest doing a couple of guestimates on how fast the 'bot will be. If it's fast enough. The (3x) multiplier for stopping in 30 seconds may offset some some of the points not made by adding big balls, etc.


I suggest making some kind of scoring matrix. Woodie Flowers has a slide in his power point set (on the sharing first site, I think)that did this for the robot design. Just extend the concept into the scoring possibilities.

Good luck!
