The difference in build pace between this year and last year has blown my mind.

Last year, with Ariel Assist, we worked up to the deadline, duct-taping weights onto the robot just before we bagged and tagged. This year, we are almost competition ready now at the end of Week Two.

I believe that part of this increased building speed is due to the ease of Recycle Rush compared to Areal Assist. Last year, we had to make robots capable of chucking exercise balls with power and accuracy. This year, we get to make forklifts!
