My year

The all together 4 thing was my last year in FIRST. That competition sucked in my oppinion. There was no mystery on who would win. Beaty got insane points much above the rest of the other teams and there was nothing you could do about it.
HOPEFULLY! FIRST won't make that mistake again. I'm sure they're going to try to stop destruction of robots though. AKA FLIPPING! I'm sure FIRST is going to try something like stopping a certain inclined wedge or something. A lot of those teams with a wedge who say they try not to flip robots did it to flip robots. Theres a huge difference between a 30 degreen incline and a 60 degree one. 30 will flip you fast, 60 might get somebody off your back. What I want to see.. The return of a need to get some part of your robot above 9 feet. I'm tired of all these low to the ground robots. You can't see the competition half the time because somebody is in your way. When they had floppies everything was high and it was just soooo COOL!
