So can only "good" teams have good ideas? It doesn't take a perennial powerhouse to offer up information that some teams could find valuable. This coming from somebody who led an Ri3D team last year and is going to do so again this year. I'm not from a perennial powerhouse, nor do I consider myself to be an "expert" in FRC. However I've talked to a number of people who said our Ri3D robot inspired them. I do think a lot of the discussion this is designed to host is already done on Chief Delphi, but who am I to tell somebody that their idea (which is just trying to better the FRC community) is no good. Instead I'll offer a piece of advice that I think will improve the idea and differentiate it from forums that are already out there: maybe set up a system where people who sign up to do this get randomly placed in a Google hangout sessions with other random people who sign up. Maybe in groups of 5 to 10? This allows for inter-team communication and brainstorming, but isn't just a forum that people post on. It allows face to face communication (computer screen to computer screen... whatever) which other sites don't offer. Just a suggestion, like I said previously, I hope this is a huge success and good luck!
