That kid needs every bit of resource he can get, and thinks like Build Blitz are AWESOME for them.

I don't think this year's Ri3D/BuildBlitz provided a significantly better resource for struggling teams than the single team in 2013. I do think it did a lot more to trivialize many of the engineering challenges for teams that have a lot to gain by doing it themselves.

As I said originally, I do think it is a good resource to have (our 2013 robot would not have existed without it). However, I do think there exists a point at which it is too much, and if we were not past that point this year then we were very close to it.
