Re: Average score per match and cycle times
Math and observations. We were counting the number of cycles and so we could see how many were happening for different levels of performance. In 2013 some teams got up to 7 and 8 cycles in Champs! So...

Two successful fundraising strategies to share

Re: Scouting as an Aliiance Captain
The best solution is to set up a team of at least 6 to 8 scouts to follow the scoring and actions on the field. This is MUCH more important than pit scouting--if you have to choose, do field...

Re: Average score per match and cycle times
After watching the 2012 and 2013 games, we estimated that a fast robot can run a full court scoring cycle about 4-5 times early in the year and up to 6 to 7 times by Champs. Worked like a charm for...

Re: California District Proposal, Rev 2
California is unusual compared to other states. Until the 1970s "state" championships were the exception rather than the rule; Section champs were frequently the final stop. Even now at least 4 of 23...

Re: Chezy Champs 2016
I second this thought. I don't think others appreciate the great effort that the Poofs went to in putting on an event that's every bit as good as a Regional. And we didn't appreciate that a fully...

Re: Best in your State/Region
All I can say is even when we improve, we still can't close the gap on 254!! And it was kind of nice being able to win those events without having to actually play!:D

Re: Idea to Balance Championship Divisions
I agree. The problem with division stacking is not who wins the title, but rather who gets the opportunity to play for the title. The best example is this year comparing Curie to Newton. There were...

Re: Moving Championships back
One answer is that Districts would solve that problem directly. Both MN and TX seem to be considering this option.
The second is to push the state champs to after the FRC Champs (or Super...

A later end to the season is not such a crazy idea--can we say "spring sports?" Almost every high school in the US has state championship events i late May and early June. (I think Texas may be an...

FIRST is unlike every other organization or every other robot competition because it begs to you collaborate; it encourages you to be a better person through the help of others. - Amanda Morrison [more]
