Re: [FRC Blog]2017 Updates
As of last year's rules, this means the finalist alliance captain for every regional will be going to World. I think this is going to have huge implications on strategy.
Imaginary scenario: first 4...

Re: FIRST 50 years ago / 50 years from now.
I believe they showed this video (or part of it) when the US Chief Technology Offer, Megan Smith, spoke at the World Championship in 2015. She's in the video, starting at 1:33...

Re: FIRST Graduation Cords
My point was that FIRST has ones with the little logo charms on it already:
But yeah, I didn't know the going rate for graduation cords and the charm is probably not worth $12.95. So, on to other...

Re: Split Champs assignment
According to the pit map (https://guidebook.com/guide/53130/map/68313/), FLL is still in the America's Center. The Scholarship Row & Sponsor booths were moved to the hotel instead.

Re: Split Champs assignment
I find it interesting that each ChampionSplit will have 400 FRC teams (as opposed to this year's 600) but the full current amount of other program teams (60 FllJr, 108 FLL, and 128 FTC). FIRST wasn't...

Re: Streamline Awards Ceremonies?
