I came into the competition season expecting to see a bunch ofBB/Ri3D clones, and so many so that it would make me dislike it. That there would be 4 designs, and teams would just pick and choose.

Instead I saw a few teams who did follow one of the paths, but they can't have done it without having gained some technical knowledge along their way and/or putting their own twist on the base of the design, whether it be a catcher, new drivetrain experiment, different power system for a catapult, or other function. And all this while, teams still found unique designs (i.e 118, 254, 1678, etc.) and still stand out.

I would like to see them return next year.
