Re: Less Interest in Robots in the pits this year?

Like my father so obviously pointed out, 116 did have a unique drive train (and control box for that matter), and we did receive a number of in depth questions about both.
Because of the 3v3 format, you had to visit 33% more pits per match (which the number of matches also went up with the 3v3 format), allowing you less time on Friday and Saturday to scout and talk in depth. The people who were just "browsing" the pits, and not scouting did tend to stop by and ask questions.
The disturbing part was that a few of the scouts I tried to explain the drive system to when they asked about it (and not just me, when any of our team members tried to explain it to them) seemed not to be able to comprehend how it works. But thankfully that was just a couple.
