Good Afternoon Teams,
I’ve finished my first pass of the end of the season survey (my thanks to everyone who participated) and I’ve started to distribute the detailed answers to other departments to help them in future planning. Here’s some of what teams had to say:
76.5% of respondents liked the inclusion of a mini-bot in LOGO MOTION
69.6% of respondents would like to see some sort of mini-bot included in future FRC games (I have no comment on how soon that might materialize)
80.8% of respondents chose the quantity of qualification rounds (more rounds) over increasing the length of individual qualification rounds (more time spent on the field)
60.8% of respondents prefer giving teams a fixed amount of time to connect to the field over reducing the number of rounds in order to build in time so that all teams may connect to the field
A surprising 23.2% of respondents told us participating in more than one competition event a season would be a burden.
Human Resources tells me we’ve already received 5 applications for the new FRC Engineer position. If you’re interested, contact HR soon.
Summer hours start for the office staff in Manchester June 20th. We’re all still putting in full work weeks, but most of us are working longer days Monday through Thursday so we can get out earlier on Fridays. We will have a limited staff in the building on Friday afternoons, so please plan ahead if you need to contact someone.
206 days until the 2012 kickoff
See you then.

Sure Akash,
Just using the quote for examples:
This is Bill's first pass of the end of season survey. If it is his first pass, why do we need to know?
His comment about how soon another minibot might materialize. Why was that necessary? Either we'll have one or we won't and we'll find out in a timely fashion.
Why is 23.2% a surprise regarding the burden question? What is defined as a burden? Moving a team from point A to point B is a burden, whether we use donkeys, camels, buses, planes, trains, or automobiles. (See how easy it is to throw in a sly comment or one that I, the poster of opinion, think is sly?) The true comment regarding more than one competition should center around 'affordable' and 'manageable'.
What is pertinent in this blog post is that HQ is receiving applicants for the FRC engineer position and that they are changing their hours and team contacts should act accordingly with that shift. The rest, in my opinion, is chatter, based on his first pass statement and some of his commentary - perhaps to get more feedback/reaction directly or indirectly from us.
