Again, thanks.
If the volunteers at Lockheed Martin are able push out another iteration of the multi-player, 5th Gear, FRC, match simulator this coming season, give it a try.

It's not perfect; but quite a few folks have found it useful for getting a sense of how matches will play out, before they finish their robot.

In past seasons that simulator has gone public in middle to late January.

PS: Creating a 5th Gear Aim High simulation would be a good thing to do. It was my favorite game. However, the 500+ hours that go into each release makes creating releases for past games a daunting hill to climb.
