Re: [FRC Blog] Stop Build Day Survey Results

You can say that the plurality-winning opinion is keeping sbd, but you will also have to point out that a supermajority of respondents think there should be some kind of change to the existing rules.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2nd District Event Registration Thursday – Important New Information

Re: Mentors: What's something you wish you knew going in?

Re: Registration 2017

If a reliable scaling solution is too infeasible, perhaps you register 2-3 district systems per day, then open up regionals?
