I think it's good to make everyone take some time off. I just saw my kid has a C in geometry- which he finds laughably easy. not cool. He's been obviously blowing off study time for robot and musical (which of course have to be the same 8 week-ish period since we do early districts).

Maybe there should be more restrictions, like not being able to spend more then 30 hours per week on the bot?? I don't know.

But some restrictions to help smaller teams with less funds would be nice. Bag or no bag.

If we did have more time with the bot, that sure would be nice. Lots of stuff we never got to test!!!! thankfully we do go to 2 districts, which is probably why we often manage to do well.

Why bring the top down if you can bring the bottom up?
