Greetings,

RI3D's is a tool. A tool can be used by different folks in various ways. It can even not be used at all. Please, get with your team now and talk about how you want to use this tool. Many teams found this tool useful last year. Please, use,or don't use, this tool as you see fit. Leave the rest of the teams alone to use it as they wish.

FIRST isn't about kids solving issues. If that's what you want, there are several STEM programs out there that require kids do all the work.This is what FIRST is about: teams using the tools they have in different ways to inspire kids while solving a problem. Let teams use all the tools they want.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
