Re: FRC too easy...we're done :)

Someone once said, "I know what finished is, and I know what a robot is, but what is this finished robot you speak of?"

Or, as someone else (from 222, I think) said in 2005(?), "Finish... what an interesting concept. I'm still trying to do that with our 2003 bot."

The point is, you ARE NOT done at this point. You won't be done until the robot goes into its crate after your last event of the year. Even then, you still aren't done until you finish your last offseason. I have seen a team modify their robot post-season...and do better than they did in the regular season.

Oh, and I'm going to have to call you on that 80 points. That's 8 hurdles in two minutes, which means an average of one every 15 seconds. (Or, what's harder, 20 herds or 40 laps without a trackball.) You might be able to do that with a clear field, but there are five other robots out there. I want to see a picture of the robot, if you think you can do it without compromising secrets. (And if it's a freshman in aluminum foil...)

I finally saw this quote in the spotlights. The original author was Joshua May, of team 1110, the Binary Bulldogs.

Re: FRC too easy...we're done :)

I will quote every video game forum I've ever read "No SS didn't happen"

I'd like to see a vid or pic of your robot in action some of the best teams don't have designs done until week 2 or even 3. From what I've read I'd say you should reread every rule and make sure you pass every one because there is no way a fully well functional robot can be built in such a short time unless breaking R27 or R28.
