I was an FTAA at the Greater Kansas City, Oklahoma, and Smokey Mountain Regionals. Trust me, we did see improvements. You may not have personally seen them, but they exist.

The game is rough on robots, and that causes issues. Its hard for me to speak on any specific issue without seeing it myself, especially considering many issues have similar symptoms with vastly different resolutions. Overall, we should be praising the control system for working as well as we saw this year with such a rough game.
