Re: [FTC]: New Competition Set from ServoCity
I must say, that kit looks quite nice. I really appreciate effects of the gradual loosening of FTC COTS rules that we have observed since I joined FTC. Back in 2010-2011, the allowable parts were...

Re: Championships in 2017
As a four-time FTC World Championship attendee (all four years FTC was in the Dome), I definitely support keeping the programs together. For me, the most amazing thing about Worlds is not just the...

Re: Event A/V Wishlist
Could you offer a general ballpark of what you are thinking inexpensive means to you? I've heard people use it to mean a bunch of different things, so a general notion will help me make better...

Re: Event A/V Wishlist
I have a minor correction to this statement. THE streaming service YouTube is sensitive to background music. In my experience, none of the others are. From my observations recently, here is my...

Re: FIRST Brand Refresh
As a red-green color blind individual, I really dislike the color changes. At a distance, the old colors were easy to distinguish. Now, for me, FTC, FLL, and JrFLL kind of blend together if I don't...

Re: [FTC]: Servo Wire Connection
There aren't really alternate connectors. That said, I strongly zip-tying all extension cable connections and/or wrapping in electrical tape. Use the really thin zip ties, and thread them in...
