Smaller manipulators.







I work at an outsourced quality control corporation (basically I sort tiny mental parts all day for little more than minimum wage). One of the main things that I sort is a little 2" by 1/2"Dia. steel sleeve. We throw away countless numbers of these every day for having minor incongruencies such as surface blemishes or variation in color, you know, the kind of thing that would not inhibit designing of a device to handle them with. FIRST could probably find a company willing to donate these discarded items, maybe even for free. I think that this would be an amazing change in the game so far.





Also, find a way to track a teams individual score for qualifiers, and them use the alliance score for finals... I think that would take most of the luck out of

coop-eratition.
