Re: Team Update 2-19 and FRC Blog - Week 0 Observations and Stop Build Day

Soooo.... humans throwing discs over the player station at a target 54 feet away is a greater safety hazard than a 28" tall robot launching a disk using a flywheel spinning at 5000+ rpm? Huh?

AGREED!!
OR a possible 120 pound robot falling 60"???

Again, frisbee throwing change affects us and many other teams. This is my 4th year with FIRST and every year these updates/rule changes are very frustrating. Every year we feel that our strategy plan is challenged by these changes and we do get pass the "initial shock" of the changes.

I also want to say this program has changed our son and our students' lives to the better to what we have exposed them too.
