Re: RiverRage #20 - October 29th 2016

Fun for you, maybe! Your alliance gave a solid beat-down in both matches! :rolleyes:

Fun fact: Since the introduction of 3v3, this may have been the first alliance where 166 was the highest number....

Re: What hath we wrought? 2016 Horror Stories

Anyone who ran or helped run a competition understands the struggle of dealing with the defenses. Stronghold was cool, but it was a big logistical challenge.

As for failures, we've broken four 17t...

Re: [FIRST EMAIL] Stop Build Day Survey

Re: 2017 - New England District Event Schedule

Re: Themes for FRC games

I was a little nervous when that teaser was revealed because previous games with heavy-handed theming have been far from my favorites.

Re: Best FRC moments ever

I have rewatched this match more times than any other single match.

It was a back and forth match that was extremely tight all the way down to the wire. I don't know who the name of that announcer...

Re: What can FIRST do to increase FRC team sustainability?

You know what? I hadn't thought about it that way and what you (and others) are saying makes a lot of sense. I was purely thinking from a monetary point-of-view.
