YES!!!!!

Finally, people who agree! The IFI breaker panel made things SO much cleaner, and easy to diagnose. I know, I know, it isn't as much of an educational experience, but.... CMON PLEASE?????? PRETTY PLEASE??? WITH SUGAR ON TOP??????

-:o-

Now that I've settled down, I'll be quiet. But seriously FIRST (and I'll direct this at Dave, because he probably has the most influence), if you're looking for a great christmas/holiday present to me, and many other people who wire their robots, please bring back the IFI breaker panel. You don't even have to send me one. I already have one. I just want to be able to use it.


Thanks in advance Dave ;) ,

Don't get your hopes up. While I'd love to see it back, I'd put my guess of the chance of it returning at somewhere below 1% (I'd say zero... but as soon as you start making guarantees you inevitably look foolish ;))

I would prefer it stayed as 3v3 to tell the true, so much more adrealine when your competition is right in front of your face, "bumping" into your bot

Robots?

I would also like the IFI breaker panel to make a return in this years kit of parts.

80 hours of robots each week

Would much appreciate. I think the problem is the number of teams at an event though. Only having 4 on the field at once would take 150% of the time.

How about 6 vs. 0? or 8 vs. 0?

You weren't around in 2001, were you? If you think finals already take too long, try that competition format and see how you like it. (2001 was one of the least liked games, period.)

In 2001 only four alliances fought for victory in the elimination bracket. :p

Fun Fact: In order to facilitate this, the 5th through 8th seeds were automatically paired with the 1st through 4th in reverse order (ie 1 with 8, 2 with 7 etc.)

How about the return of the "old style" (aka not serpentine) draft?

It still took forever. Eight matches per semi-final, and four for the finals. Up to another two per set of matches, as I recall (though I don't remember exactly what happened if there was a tie).
