Re: [FTC]: What do you wish FTC would...
My wishlist:
1) Better microcontroller: less glitchy, more storage space, more input/output ports, faster processor
2) LabView implementation with less bugs
3) Better wireless module: less flaky electrical connections, less expensive, less availability issues, smaller
4) DC Motor controllers with lower failure rate
5) Easier / better ways to use non-Lego sensors
6) Motors without gearboxes attached and/or gear motors with smaller reductions and/or rules that permit removal of gearbox from gear motors
7) Smaller 0.80 module gears (such as 20 tooth) for Tetrix motor shafts
8) Rules prohibiting defensive autonomous strategies in which robots run into or block opposing robots
9) Lower points for major penalties - the values are insanely high for certain penalties every year, and it ruins many matches
10) Better visibility for the crowd somehow - not sure how to do this except by using screens and cameras, but it is an important issue in FTC
11) Game design that makes the games comprehensible to casual fans
12) Fix the weird wheel tread traction test guideline wherein you run it at a stall and fry the motors during inspection
13) Keep the excellent rule changes that simplified inspections and broadly opened up the allowable materials
