1. Own problems and when you get owned by problems know when and how to ask for help. That goes for everyone, but in this particular case FIRST as well.

2. Provide a level playing field for troubleshooting to eliminate power quality issues leaving dead robots on the field (that's been going on to some extent for 17 years that I know of).

3. Provide more electronics support at the competitions and more parts to support troubleshooting in the spare parts.

4. Characterize all the parts from the KOP and control system so that teams do not have to clean up later.

5. Open up more factual data about the field.

5. Track much more information about events, teams, robots, problems and be quick and fair to act on problems.

6. Encourage much more community participation directly to the canopy of control at FIRST before, during and after competition. Especially when number 1 above applies. Also take more interest in additional input gotten from beta tests.
