Re: Cheesecake: How far is too far?
I miss the 6 week build season.
Where the challenge was designing, building, and testing robots in such a short time period.
Examples such as cheesecaking and the 30 lb allowance no longer makes a 6 week build season worth anything meaningful. The allowance initially started, IIRC, due to teams not having access to their shops (not able to work) due to weather conditions. It seems to have just continued since that time.
FRC is looking more and more like the VEX challenge. If that's the case, I hope FIRST makes some changes in the near future, so that I can eat right, sleep right, and not put my personal life on hold for 2 months not including the competitions we attend.
The time we gave up to be competitively ready for a week 1 event, went out the door 3 weeks later.
