Re: pic: Our 2011 Mini-bot Tetrix motor grave

I divided up our team's tetrix remnants and had a grab bag ceremony at last year's FTC CT tournament. I offered the motor carcasses in a seventh bag, and it was snapped up by some enterprising youngster. I wished him well with the parts as the chances they would/will be useful in FRC future are slim indeed.

IMNSHO - GDC/FIRST failed big-time with the mini-bot challenge. They should have required construction of minibots by a registered FTC team and braced themselves to withstand the inevitable whining by FRC teams complaining of a lack of FTC resource in their area. Point would have been promotion and wider recognition of FTC.
