Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 International Game Piece Option

Which isn't really an argument against it being for domestic teams at all - this is only an argument in favor of the option existing for international teams.

Domestically, this would probably be too hard to scale and have a "different thing for every team" compared to normal kickoff boxes. It's a very different scale.
This is exactly what happens already with the KoP opt-in / opt-out program as it is. FIRST already handles "different thing for every team" just fine, with much bigger (generally), heavier, more expensive things. Different teams get different selections of stuff. Without knowing the game piece it's hard to say for sure but for example last year, it can't be that hard to throw another dozen balls in the shipping container for your local Kickoff.
