Re: 2013 Lessons Learned: The Positive

More echoes...

+1 to the game being a really good one. I haven't seen this much strategy in what to build since... wait for it... 2004. (2007 comes close, though.)
+1 to Frank being, well, frank--if the reasoning is given, it's a lot easier to understand a "Why is this done this way, this is dumb" call.

The higher numbers were competitive in force this year. (1477 is now the highest numbered team to win Einstein, with 1241 as #2 on that list, as I recall.)

+1 to frame perimeter. Sometimes, you just have to think outside the box.

Not nearly as many threads complaining about "mentor-built robots" is a definite plus.

+1 to the wild-card system. Kinks? Sure. But it worked pretty well.
