Re: The negative effects of FRC

The lunch thing is huge. Every competition I've been to in my 3 years, I've been in the pits nearly the entire time. I'm the drive train operator, so I am constantly in-between running the robot and fixing the robot. There is simply no time to eat. At a competition where we got into eliminations, I almost passed out because I was unable to get food. The entry guards were very picky about people bringing in food, so I couldn't get anything except a $10 hot dog. I weighed myself before and after the competition, and there was a 10lb difference. I am already nearly underweight, so that was bad.

Lunch breaks need to actually be lunch breaks, and students/mentors/everyone should be able to get food that has a realistic price.
