Re: 2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative
I really liked this game but there were a few things that needed to be changed.
The Game:
The endgame needed to be worth more. FIRST needs to work on balancing out teleop and the endgame.
Also the real time scoring needs a huge improvement for next year.
Districts:
I know that the New England area will be moving to a district system next year and I would love to see it put in place in more places. The system allows for more events and more chances to go to a big event like the region championship with a better chance for worlds.
Championships:
There either needs to be less teams or more divisions at worlds. I know that adding more divisions would be very hard because of space and logistics but there needs to be more than eight matches for all the teams. I have seen some people talking about extending the championships to starting with practice on wednesday and I do not agree with that. We need to keep in mind that FRC is high school students and, although they are all motivated and intelligent, they cannot be missing that much school. Finally I would like to see Einsteins placement moved so that more people can watch it without having to be stuck at the top of the stadium.
P.S.
this might be a little off topic but I saw someone talking about how they don't like jags and won't be using them next year. I just wanted to say that my team has been using jags with the can system for years now and we love it.
