Another thing I noticed is that it's the first time boxes (totes) have been stacked since 2003 Stack Attack, which incidentally, was when autonomous mode was introduced. And this year, the autonomous mode is very ambitious, requiring robot cooperation (to get a yellow tote stack in 15 seconds). I like it. I don't know if this is the future of FRC, but probably not. FIRST is trying different things, and this is a refreshing change after the attempts at sports game type excitement.

I have to admit that hearing the term "older style FRC around the turn of this century" made me feel pretty old. |
