Re: Removing the feeder stations slides

I noticed the issue becoming more of a factor as the competition went on in Palmetto. The covers were not taken off there and teams seemed to be capable of performing well. I know our feeder had a few issues here and there, but when do you not have to overcome things in FIRST.

Also note that the feeders don't help the situation. In my personal opinion the frisbees should not be stacked on top if the feeder slots. I think several things should happen: FIRST releases a 'beefed up' feeder slot cover, FIRST issues an update stating the covers cannot be removed, and the frisbees are no longer allowed to be stored/kept on top of the slots.

Just my opinion.
