Too easy, Jim. We just need a few (dozen) more District-model areas!


BTW, on the rules test and penalties: I suggest that if implemented, a team that averages above X% by a certain date gets to keep working on their competition robot. A team that averages below Y% (which is some reasonable amount below X%) must stay in the bag for an additional Z time, potentially up until their event. Teams in between X and Y must bag their robot, but if they reach X% within N attempts following bag day they may unbag immediately. Of course, the implementation of said test is a bit of a challenge, as is the enforcement of penalties.
