Re: FIRST Frenzy Opinion Thread

I think this years game is to get people to think of what human/robot interaction can acheive not only on the playing field, but everywhere. And it does a good job at that. But it does favor larger teams somewhat because they have a higher chance of someone being good at basketball on the team, but if teams do a good job at outreach and find someone within the school to be there human player that shouldnt be a factor. Plus the small mobile goals allow people to pretty much dump ball into them for the teams with lesser human players. And the caps and bar can help balance the odds also. But for the teams that dont know ways to acheive these goals, they can consult veteran teams if there are any near them. And several veteran teams attempted those challenges in other ways so they might not even know the solutions to them. And many rookie members or 2nd year members dont know them anyway, so most teams only have a few who remember the solutions to those challenges. The solutions arnt as complex as you might think, remember, the answer could be right in front of your nose. For every good idea there are 99 bad ones. So keep brainstorming and you will come up with a solution.
