One more after-the-fact problem is that too many robots look the same. It is hard to go to an event and see a unique robot.

I guess part of that can be attributed to the Build Blitz/ RI3D things, but I don't necessarily think that's bad.
Obviously with the rules design convergence isn't as major a thing in FIRST as it is with platforms like VEX and FTC, but teams do adapt.
If FIRST wants to not so lightly encourage (read: "mandate") teams to assist other teams so that the floor at regionals isn't as bad as it is as times, I think it needs to be done better than this.
I fully believe FIRST can make those improvements for whatever game they do next year. And I don't think the floor at Championships will be entirely awful.
I do miss that feeling of being able to work solo and still do somewhat well, however.
