Personally I am more into watching my students take what they are given and running with it ! Watching the strategy change and unfold as they work with different teams. And most importantly watching them get comfortable outside the box!
Well, our team did build a unique laser-cut wooden robot that pushes the envelope of FRC bot construction, so I don't consider the year a waste of time.

I just don't see us taking it to demos. Good thing we saved last year's robot for that job.

I also am considering not signing up for next year, but only because the time sink has gotten too great for me. I can get paid to help people design machines to do warehouse work.
