I love being able to read all of the essays and executive summaries that teams submit! I would really like to be able to see more of the winning teams' presentations.

This change did not effect us all that much. However, I really like having the breathing room.

I believe that this was a neutral change, I don't really have a reason as to why I liked it or why I didn't like it. It really depends on what individual teams want, I know some teams who did not want a mentor in the room and other teams who did.

I have no words for how disappointed I continue to be over feedback not being provided. At both the FTC and FRC levels, I find that feedback is key to improving teams around the world.
We have the ability to give feedback to FIRST on all of their events, we get surveys on every event we attend. So, as a team, why does FIRST not provide feedback on how to make my team better?
