Re: [FTC]: What do you wish FTC would...
Agree with all of the above. Sorry to hear that the yellow alliance is dead. But if I were King for a day and could change only one thing it would be to stop giving the Inspire Award to teams with great robots and nothing else. FRC is requiring (trying anyway) to require teams to at least provide supporting info in chairmans submissions. In FTC I see the Inspire Award land in the winning alliance most of the time (in my experence).
Been to 6 events this year and have talked with team members on the Inspire Award winning teams and many other teams at all of them in an attempt to learn. 1 of the teams truly Inspired me. 2 told me directly that all they did was robot. The others were good teams on and off the field but were not teams that match the award description.
My rant is over now. I absolutely Love this program and only wish the best for it.
