I think preventing rookies from accidentally making the wrong choice is a great decision.
I think there is a very significant portion of veteran teams that would benefit more from using the KOP chassis than giving them a $450 voucher. How come it isn't in our best interest to prevent them from making the wrong choice?


In 2011 half of FRC couldn't put up more than one tube in a match or launch a minibot, and there weren't that many rookies.
