I love the "Recycle - Not So Fast" mentor match! Should be interesting.
If the news in the sports world tonight is true, I'm trying to get Spurrier on 4901's drive team.

I have a few questions for all parties.
- Will there be any game rule changes?
- For speed and sanity sake, I assume transport configuration on and off the field will not be enforced if the configuration is safe.
- Will the robot have to pass through a single door or double door with the mullion in place while traveling from the pit to the field? (Door closer clearance is the fun part.)

1) No.
2) We reserve the right to ensure you can fit in there, but if you're not being obnoxious then we won't be obnoxious. (aaaaaaaand 4901 breathes a sigh of relief)
3) It is all double doors between the pits and field, and I recall that we can remove the posts from all of them.

For example:
  • Pneumatics
  • Programming a Mobile Scouting App
  • Different Types of Chassis & Drives
  • Introduction to SolidWorks

Which of these would be most interesting to attendees?
I know none of those are on the list I have already, and man I wish I could see the mobile scouting app one!
