BC Star is an opportunity for teams to nominate a mentor to be recognized by their team for their outstanding work and dedication to FIRST. Past BC Star recipients will review the submissions and select a winner. The chosen team will be invited to come up during the awards ceremony and recognize their mentor! |
Very happy to see the blanks be changed to second round picks only. The second seed getting 4564 from a blank last year was just disheartening to everyone else.
Also happy to see the drawbridge and SP taken away. Makes defenses as a whole much easier, I doubt we'll see anyone working with the category A defenses unless they just want extra defense points. Hopefully this leads to more teams scoring boulders and less teams breaking down.
The center dot is super interesting. I bet we'll see a lot of missed captures because of it. It's a very risky play to go for it if an opponent is too, but it could change the playoffs in an instant.
Overall I really like the rule changes and I'm excited to see how it plays out!
