Re: 2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative
The Championship event needs more matches per team. Suggestion:
Increase the size of the playing field or cut the frame perimeters of robots and have alliances of 4v4 or 2v2v2v2, and you can keep the 100 team divisions or even increase it to about 120 while still fitting 9-10 matches per robot for the same amount of time.

The matches need less turnaround time. Suggestion:
I'd recommend decreasing the amount of playing pieces on the field but have them never leave play or enter back into play after being scored. This will keep for shorter amounts of turnaround time and allow for high amounts of scoring.

The field needs mobility. This year was good.
Keep the option to have the playing field wide open. Bridges last year were fine, but the rack from 2007 was way too big. This year was fine since teams had the tradeoff of being big and unable to be blocked or small with a wide open field.
