This is something similar to Goodwin's law. If a thread goes on long enough, water game will be mentioned. Now we just need to think of a name for it.

Yes. Just a quick question for everyone. What is your favorite drivetrain for a defense-heavy game (please dont link the thread from 2011 [you know which one])? My personal favorite is butterfly.

Based on the reaction, I'm now convinced that the entire 2015 season was an elaborate ploy by FIRST to get teams to stop complaining about bumpers.

My favorite Frank's Blog post ever! Now we can recycle the green noodle discards from 2015.

But I wanted defense AND no bumpers 8(

One speed...FAST. Don't waste time in a pushing match that will limit your offensive potential.

Kitbot drive train. For 90+% of teams spending time on a fancy custom drive train isn't worth the resources.

Durstig's Law.

'Durstig' is German for thirsty. And we're "thirsty" for a water game.

Hmm... I predict the field will be divided into sections that are impassable by some.

I think Frank's Law might be more appropriate.
