Re: Lessons Learned the positive (2006)
Most of these have been stated by others, but some of these were just such great aspects of this year that they need to be mentioned again in case anybody from FIRST is reading...
* Autonomous really mattered this year, giving the autonomous winner a big advantage. Yet, the match wasn't a "given" for the autonomous winner, so teams that didn't get autonomous to work still had a (slim) chance.
* Autonomous featured a defensive element as well as an offensive one.
* The game was easy to explain to spectators -- both little kids and grandparents could quickly understand the game.
* Colorful poof balls!
* Bumpers were encouraged by a weight / volume advantage. In past years, it wasn't sufficiently advantageous to use bumpers.
