I think that FIRST needs to invest in a message board like this one.

there are many different types of boards, and they are easy to set up: heck, video game "clans" have easy to set up forums, and they have virtually no resources compared to FIRST.

FIRST should also release a copy of the rules, updated with team updates, once per week, or at the very least, at the end of the season.

I also think FIRST should go back to using balls: we didn't intentionally abuse our bins, and we basically trashed them with use.

I think FIRST made a step in the right direction this year, by making the game more challenging. I really liked the 4 on 0 idea though: I don't know why people hated that so much.
