Interesting thoughts about BEST. I hyper-agree with your analysis of their games. We still use it as training for our new students and for upcoming student leaders in the fall, because of the similar timeline, and because our budget goes to FRC. Still, it's interesting to see a mirror of my opinion in your post.
