Re: who thinks this years competion is easy

As far as the veteran advantage of knowing how to handle the big balls and the bar from 2000 and 2001 there are a few things.
1) the bar is twice as high, lot harder
2) the only people on vet teams that will know that are adult team advisors who were involved those years, college students now mentoring teams who were involved in their HS or college team those years, or the HS seniors. The HS juniors sophomores and freshmen werent around. Besides, out of that portion of people (involved in 2000 and 2001), the only ones who will know how to handle the bar or big balls are people who built robots that could handle those elements in the 3 and 4 years ago.

it's not as big of an advantage as you think.
