Though in name the threads are about positives and negatives, the general idea is "Things to work on" and "Things to build upon." Only natural for the 'things to work on' thread to be longer.


That said, I've got two.

1. Real-Time scoring will be key for all future FIRST games.
The ability for the drive team to calculate in their minds that they only need one robot on a bridge to secure victory rather than two can save valuable seconds (and something I did actually witness being behind a driver station and listening to drive teams) All other FIRST games from now on should see real-time scoring a priority. Having 5-second wait time for scores isn't that important, but it was really nice touch and should happen any time it can.

2. Shorter Opening Ceremonies = Good
I don't know if only the events I saw had shorter opening ceremonies, but I noticed that it was about 15-20 minutes shorter. This is a good thing. Condense opening ceremonies and keep some of the more valuable speeches till closing ceremonies or before alliance selection. It makes for a much more evened out day.
