Re: POLL: Worst FRC game

Truth here.

I find it funny that the new generation has such hatred of Lunacy. At least due to the human player element, it was somewhat okay to watch. It was flawed and too difficult of a...

Re: Ballet of the Brain

Let me echo this sentiment. I think your team has accurately captured what is so difficult to explain to those who have not previously participated in robotics competitions. That, in itself, is a...

Re: Do you think a practice robot is needed to compete?
