Re: Lessons learned 2005: The negative

I think all the negatives about the nationals have been said ( i especially agree with the Vex FLL safty glass issue). As for this entire year, i think that three teams was great, but the field should be a little bit bigger (maybe a square?). I also think some of the regionals need to get bigger venues, instead of just splitting them up into more regionals. I also like the e stop idea. its been four years since a team could 'punch out' in an emergency. The last thing would be to allow teams to challange calls if they have sufficient evidence, such as cued up video tape, and can present it to the refs in a short amount of time (3 min or less).
