Re: Ideas to move in the direction of making FIRST competitions 'fair'
ok 1745 is a team with small numbers(15 kids), little funding(last year we spend $248 on the robot), and little engineering support(I'm the most formally educated mentor on the team).

and we like the way that things are now. yes it may not be "fair", but the way we see it FIRST isn't about winning a robot contest, its about trying your best to complete a really really hard task in a really really short amount of time. just showing up with a finished robot is winning enough for us, any thing more is icing.
