Here are some more blasts from the past...
- Robots made of plywood
- The infamous "2 on 1" strategy
- Two fields per stage/regional, with only one in use at a time
- Trying to calculate your seeding on Friday night (FIRST did nout publish seedings until Saturday morning)
- Playing matches every 10 minutes or so once you'd been relegated to the losers side of the bracket
- Teams outside of the top 8 being allowed to decline an alliance offer
- Pre-arranged alliances
- Two team alliances
- Calling timeouts
Wow, it has been a long time.
