Part of me was upset because despite the fact that FRC robots are still large, it's really the size of just two FTC robots side by side (in one dimension, at least).
FRC was always known as the big step up with big bots, big challenges, and big ideas. That hasn't changed much but the big bots got less big
Part of me loved big bots because they just "looked" more impressive in terms of luring in new potential members - not saying a smaller bot isn't impressive, but I feel as though it's easier to make a bigger bot look more impressive.
The other side of me is happy because its much easier to stay within weight limit w/ the new size restriction.
