Continuing the discussion...

Continuing where Mr B. left off...

I hate broken robots. I think that it is very difficult to design any functioning robot in the time we have to do this yet alone one that can take the chills and spills most of you are talking about.

I KNOW that the audiences will love this kind of stuff. My question is will we have any robots running in the later rounds of the qualifying matches.

What kind of a sport are we playing here if half the teams can't answer the bell in the later rounds?

I am a big kid and I can take it as well as dish it out, but I am just questioning whether this is the road we want to go down.

One thing for sure, falling, battling, breaking robots are going to make the evening news. Not only are they going to make it for a longer segment, but they are going to get a better build up and a better slot in the 30 minute show.

Maybe this is the way to put FIRST on the map.

We shall see what we shall see.

Joe J.

P.S. Last Friday, when NOTHING on our robot was working (we couldn't drive over, around or push a floppy, we could lift ourselves or the puck, we couldn't pick up a floppy, we couldn't get them above 8 feet if one magically landed on us, we were in trouble...), I was sorry I ever made the "JAWS WILL DROP" statement. I don't want to jinks us again by making any ALL CAPS predictions, but Chief Delphi 4 should at least be able to do one or two of the tasks that it was designed to do. We shall see...
