Re: VEXpro Build Blitz 2015
The plan to roll out content over the course of the first week, I think, is one of the most important improvements. Last year, I felt it was simply too much, too quickly - much of the important process that led to the designs (brainstorming, prototyping, tuning) were washed out in mad rush of the 3-day build. At the end of it, it was common to have students wanting to copy aspects of the different robots without any firm motivation other than "it looked good on the reveal video."
It sounds like it'll be much easier to parse the information this year (what works well, what doesn't, and most importantly why that's the case), which is very important.
