Re: Video Review -- event summary
If you are collecting this data, I'd also be interested in seeing how many questions were raised with the referees that did not use video review.

Re: Minnesota High School Teams

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you have chosen to release it as a .ZIP file instead of posting the code to a code hosting website such as GitHub?

Re: So I got this HoloLens last February
The number of FTAs (official or unofficial off season FTAs) with Google Glass is likely pretty small (maybe on the order of 0-5), so I wouldn't spend a ton of time on it.
That being said, I made my...

Re: Southern Championship math question
What if the Championship events become bag and tag events?
I don't have data on how many teams drive vs. fly, but if teams bring their robots with them shipping becomes a non-issue.

Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?
I'll take some credit here, and hopefully clarify the decision to play 8 matches. I was on 10,000 Lakes with 63 teams.
I'm apparently one of the people who "vetoed" 9 matches, though I don't recall...

Yes, in human nature we like to get rewarded/recognized for things we do; however, you should not have to rely on this to be "successful". Remember the purpose of FIRST - To change our culture. - tim-tim [more]
