Bingo!... why limit it to the robot? Make scouting software. Write a game simulator. Write software to control your own segway. To control the firing mechanism on your t-shirt cannon. Oh so much to do...

(A large team forces us to think outside the robot in order to inspire as many as possible - with year round non-robot projects.)

On a side note... "Think outside the robot." - I kinda like that. I'll have to use that in a meeting someday....
