Re: pic: REX (Team 4334 - Alberta Tech Alliance)
I think a large part of FRC needs to step back and seriously ask themselves why they didn't build this robot. All the long bots who missed elims, shooters that could only do 2's from a tiny portion of the fender, teams who were in over their head in basically any capacity... You can learn a lot from this robot. With just enough features to have a competitive presence at all levels of play, I really think this is the best simple robot of this year, and an example of excellent strategic design.

They improvised. They overcame. They persevered. And they succeeded. ... I cannot remember being more proud of a group of students with which I have been associated. - dlavery [more]
