Some of you are coming across very elitist. Will a team/student learn more from simply assembling kit bot or from trying something completely out of their comfort zone? Yes they should try to do it in the offseason, but if they only do FRC during build season, they should try something new.

Fail early and fail often, just learn from each one. It isn't a robot right?
This needs a "Like" button. I fully support stretching kids to get outside their comfort zone and reach for something bigger than they thought possible. If they fail, they have still learned valuable lessons, which after all, is the whole point.
