Re: 2013 Lessons Learned: The Positive

The game this year was fun to watch, and broad enough to encourage diversity in robot designs. This made wandering around the pits a lot more fun.

I was very impressed with the level of attention the FTA's gave to isolating our comm issues on Galileo and Einstein. They were able to tell us it wasn't the Crio resetting, and had us focus on the radio instead. After checking and re-checking power connections for several matches with similar random cutouts, they brought a new DC-DC converter to us and helped us reinstall it. And this seemed to solve the problem!

There was a First representative at champs dedicated to helping international teams with shipping their crates home. He was extremely helpful and thorough, and made shipping a lot smoother than previous years.

As many have already said, the wildcards are a huge improvement. In the past the only way we could hope to qualify was to travel out of country.

The bumper and frame rules keep getting better.
