Re: Official FIRST STEAMWORKS Teaser and DLC Pack 1!

Raised platforms, either for robots or scoring pieces. Otherwise that ramp to where the team is working on the robot wouldn't be necessary.

Re: [FRC Blog] Hype Overload!

Both words in the blog post title are capitalized, and have been used quite frequently. Could Hype Overload be the name of the game?

Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 FIRST Championships Allocations for Districts

Re: A Request For More Transparency in Moderating

Re: Moving Championships back

Hey, I agree with you!

If I may, however, it seems the tone of your message may come off as slightly negative, with the all capitalized NEVER and your final comment of "Not even worth discussing."....

Re: Districts vs. Traditional Debate 8/16 830pm EST

Comparatively, is one of the goals of the district system to promote the event winners to higher levels, or is the goal to promote the best teams to higher levels? I don't know for sure, but I'd...

Re: So you want to build a reveal video...

I think that would be incredibly boring. I see reveal videos like music videos for robots. A music video is just a bunch of musicians moving around when no audio is on. Or one could liken a reveal to...

Re: IndyRAGE - All-Girls Comp+ - October 1

If solely the presence of another gender makes someone feel uncomfortable, regardless of who they are, that's on them. You cannot say that just having a gender exist in an area is enough to...

Re: IndyRAGE - All-Girls Comp+ - October 1

You are correct, however I believe the argument being made is that if that is the case, don't separate the workshops by gender. Both workshops are important topics, but to say that young women can...

Re: California District Proposal

None of the higher-ups in FIRST CA like districts, which I'm guessing is why California doesn't have them. When I first started learning about this program I was told by some regional directors that...

Re: New FRC Team Concerns

Re: F4 - Connect (The new way to get help)
