For the record, we are not using either idea. We are using the KISS method (Keep It Simple Students) and believe that we will have a lifting robot that can do the job quickly, efficiently and is simple.

To think that the seminal work on the FRC experience is about the least favorite game of all time, being played by a team that no longer exists, is either the height of insanity or a master stroke of inspiration. - GeeTwo [more]
