If you had to build a robot, where would you start?
A good place to start is by brainstorming ideas with others.
Think about your objectives, then think of other factors like the resources and the time you have available to you.
Next, get some pen and paper and start drawing what you think your robot should look like based on your objectives. What materials will you use? What will you program your robot to do?
Eventually, you'll want prototypes of your robot. Based on what Oliver from FIRST Robotic Competition's 3132 'Thunder Down Under' says, what do you think rapid prototyping is?
