I don't really know many robots before my time, though.

When building a robot, how important is it to cater to looking appealing for an alliance (in 2010 terms, a defending robot would rarely get picked, how important is that in your early strategy)

If you perform well, you can pick your own alliance.

Speaking of early strategy, how rigid does your team make it? Do you require that everyone's ideas conform to it, or is it more lax, and allow innovation

Fairly rigid. If our initial strategy proves to be incorrect with more prototyping and testing, we will revise it. I would not say that being more lax allows more innovation.

Which is your favorite FRC game?

Triple Play or Rack and Roll. Both featured large arms, which look cool. Speaking of Stack Attack, that was the worst game in the history of FRC. If the goal was to stack boxes, the world champions could not do it (111 got ot the platform first, hit the wall, and strafed along the hill flipping anyone who tried to oppose them)

How the hell did 2002 71 legs work?

I have no idea. They weren't perfect though.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how pumped are you for kickoff
