Except for the fact it is both easier and cheaper to completely rebuild a FTC robot compared to an FRC robot.

Arguments about teams having a lack of self control and knowing when to take breaks or not do something to their robot are BS. Its not up to FIRST to control how and when your team meets or how much work your team puts in. If you don't have the will to stop when your burnt out then that's your problem.

B&T only costs teams money, time, and heartache. It does not level the playing field. It does not save people/teams from them selves. It does not inspire. It does not do anything of benefit.
