Re: 2012 Lessons Learned:The Negative
I really missed having no video feed of matches in the pits.

Match cycle times would be greatly improved if FIRST would move to a faster-booting bridge. I miss the little black Linksys bridges from 2009, they only took 15 seconds to boot up. It sucks having to wait for the radio to boot after the cRIO has been booted for 30 seconds already. It would make for faster match cycles, which would make for more matches for more teams.

Or just get rid of it altogether and move to a more reliable system...

They could also debug the FMS software a bit more thoroughly.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
