They understand the game, They understand their own machining capabilities, and they only build into their machine what is really required.

A box on wheels will never beat 1114 unless they completely understand themselves, their strategy, and the game at hand. And if they do, then I'll bet that there is a lot more than a box on wheels there if you look real close.

JMHO



I don't think FIRST shoudl have gone to even out the playing field either... From experience I can say that people join FIRST because they see some cool robot doing amazing functions, performing in ways unseen before. With Lunacy this year, the actual functionality of the robot will be equal if not less of an effect of the human players throwing balls..

This game doesn't allow for enough creativity imo; however I am still looking forward to competition!!!
