Competition becoming too big?

Posted by Jason Flanagan at 04/10/2001 10:07 PM EST


Student on team #250, Dynamos, from Shenendehowa HSE and General Electric, Verizon, .



I've been thinking about this for a while now and I saw a thread lower down that was talking about it but I'll start a new thread. Now this isn't about the amount of teams, thats great its amazing. This is about the access to so many parts and barely using anything in the kit itself except for the motors and the controls. This gives teams with sponsors that give a ton of money a large advantage because they can buy anything they want. I think the competition should regress back to using mostly the kit so to even things more out. Also this would help students get involved even more because with this little kit of parts the students could design the robot very simple and not so intricate that they couldn't build it themselves. I have a strong grudge against these robots that u can tell have no chance of being built by students, with all these smooth running systems that are built by teams of engineers. I've said some pretty brash things in this post so correct me where I'm wrong, and respond nicely cause I'll apologize in advance for stupid things I say.
