Re: What can FIRST do to increase FRC team sustainability?
While I think the B&T rules don't necessarily dovetail very well with sustainability, I would be in favor of extending B&T if, and only if, a team does not have their robot capable of passing inspection, or able to perform a minimum of tasks (eg, for Stronghold, move), and allowing work to continue only toward those goals.
This would let struggling teams (not just rookies) get their robot into a competition-ready shape, but not allow them to work on their shooter, for example, until the robot is bagged. Perhaps this would help with some B&T and inspection stresses.
