Re: FRC Blog - Something New - Team 'Standards'
Personally, I have no issue with giving teams the option of making a Standard.
It will work well with this year's theme, but we may not see it in future games. It just doesn't make sense to mount Standards above the DS if that area of the field will be used for scoring.
We will make use of this opportunity to have a few students (read that "just 2 or 3") use this as an engineering exercise. We were give limitations, and goal objectives. So, we will use them to design our Standard.
Besides, has anyone given any thought to the possibility that this opportunity to build a Standard this year was the entire reason to have the "Teaser video" in the first place? I wouldn't put it past the GDC to head fake us like that.
