Re: Modifying robot at competition?

Fundamentally, I agree with allowing total redesigns or modifications at competition. The modifying team will be behind the curve when it comes to practicing with said mechanisms, which is the potential pitfall. Additionally, it allows teams who've poured hours into a design that just isn't panning out to make a change and get inspired by teams who did.

Just be glad for the fact that FRC teams who pour effort into difficult autonomous routines can't be denied their gratification. In FTC, that still isn't the case. One would think that FRC's [G19] would be feasible to implement across all platforms, given the level of difficulty and effort required.
