Re: Bills Blog- Yes, I’m already counting down to kickoff 2012

Maybe it's just me but I can't really seem to wrap my head around this whole "the dome is more special" thing. I didn't really notice any difference at all as a drive coach between the dome and pit fields other than a shorter commute to the pit field. I guess I'll have to ask my drivers if they thought there was any difference.

Logistically it makes no sense to put FTC in the Dome and FRC in the pits. The volume of spectators for the FRC matches makes way more sense in the dome. The visibility of the robots makes way more sense to put FRC in the dome. The FTC robots are just too small to make sense in the dome. They would be much better suited to the pit field setup where the stands are much closer to the field.

FLL is fine on Einstein because you can't see those robots without a camera blowing up the action no matter where you put them and Einstein isn't being used during that time anyway.
