Good points, I do think storage will be the largest problem. Seems like the best arguement against it.
The NEDC competition was during high school, I was in a program similar to PNTA...maybe not as good though
The BattleBots thing is by myself and, coincidentally, I lost my first match this summer to one of Mike B.'s (more accurately, his students') bot...which is how I knew about you. I'm helping students at a local high school, Fox Chapel, enter BattleBots IQ this spring.
I just emailed the CMU FIRST team. I did last year too and they didn't reply back until 6 months later,well after the competition.
See ya round this spring, sounds like we may even share some classes.
