Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 International Game Piece Option
Access to plenty of gamepieces early in the build season really does make a difference for teams. In 2015 it was difficult to design a robot to build multiple 6 stacks when we didn’t actually have 6 totes for a long time. Having just a few gamepieces at the start of the season( for a week or so) can narrow down your strategy and robot to working with only a few game pieces as you don’t get to see the bigger picture.
You can try substitute the official gamepiece with something similiar( such as the 2013/2014 KOP totes) while you wait but there are always differences( such as tote height etc.).
The system of trading FC credits for an extra boulder seemed reasonable this year. As the value of the FC credits would probably equal the price from Andymark+express postage
