Amen to that.
I expect to be disappointed though. I don't think FIRST understands how uneven the playing field was made by minibots. You NEEDED to do the minibot, and in order to do the minibot well, you needed to burn through motors. I seriously hope that the "next" minibot challenge does not actually use FTC parts, because FRC teams will push performance to the limit and break those again and again.
