Hello,

One day I saw a botball competition, and I asked them about the robots, they said they had to built them from a starter kit that has about 100 pieces of lego and 3 motor with 4 big wheels.

I was wondering, is there any way to come up with the best design. And yet, I still don't know what might a good design be in terms of engineering.
