If you could Breakaway all over again...

The [FIRST Robotics] competition is a friendly / gentleman's sort of sport... It is only a forum to put our machines to the test, and see how well we did against what WE set out to do -- not to see which team can build the best robot. - KenWittlief [more]

Re: If you could Breakaway all over again...

I wouldn't have bothered with the kicking mechanism on our robot, or all the associated pneumatics, and would have focused on the ball herding strategy, which worked out pretty well for us. I would have used that extra time on improving the drivetrain, because getting around defense was a big problem of ours throughout the season.
