Re: Lessons learned 2005: The positive

-The kit was great this year
+ Two Gearboxes (Thanks Paul)
+A Good Frame
+4 CIM Motors
+The Camera (even though not all teams got it to work it was still a good addition, and should be included in the future)

-The Head Ref at NAT'S did a great job of telling everybody in the drivers meeting what he expected of all competitors and from all of the Field Refs and crew, There should be a Q/A Forum at all of the regionals this will clear up a lot of confusion.

-The drivers station over head protection (despite the fact that it broke on Curie during one of our matches) was a great idea and should have been there from the start.

-Great game overall, that allowed bots of all different types to be competitive.

-the walk from the pits was a lot better this year

-the Hall of Fame Looked great

-the social would have been better if not for the weather (don't get me wrong it was still a blast)

-Having the Antenna stationary instead of attached to the OI is great!!!

-no battery in the weight limit.

-Addressing Flop Down Robots in an update

-Dean's Speech Made me want to go invent something

-Seeing Dave Lavery drive by me at 8:00 in the morning driving a Segway with one hand, holding 2 boxes of krispy Kremes in the other.

-The Finger Lakes Regional
