I agree with Steve. But, the emphasis should be on trying. If someone sets
out right from the start to build a crap robot that doesn't even attempt to
solve the problem at hand, then I would rather they just leave it at home.
But I love seeing robots that genuinely try to solve the problem, and could
very well work given a bit more time. I am always inspired by Jeff VW's
creations. While they may not always work as planned, they always
incorporate some very unique ideas. I remember Jeff's robot for the bridge
building game. It had a hook attached to a string that would stop it at
exactly the right point when it had driven across the table. Now there was a
unique concept!
