But we are not going to do that. Our team has spent a LOT of time and energy trying to figure out ways to build robots that low resourced teams could duplicate.
We'll talk more about what that means, but bottom line, we want to raise the bar for the bottom third of the FIRST teams. If we can do this in 72 hours, you can do it in 6 weeks.

ooooh! Any chance you'd be cool with some of us Dr Joe fanboys coming by during this event? I promise to try to keep my "oh my gosh oh my gosh I can't believe it's Dr Joe" quiet in the corner...
