Re: Lesson Learned 2016 - The Positive

Very good game. Good competitive parity, fun to watch.

In particular, maybe I'm alone in this, but I'd like to see more games that are rough on robots in the way this one was. It's a different twist on the engineering challenge, and one that I think the students benefit from. I very much enjoyed seeing the FRC drive train best-practices, which had become fairly stagnant, shaken up (and in a way that wasn't contrived and awful like 2009...).
