Re: Ideas to move in the direction of making FIRST competitions 'fair'

There are some inherent difficulties for rookie teams. they spend more time doing things that other teams can do quickly. An easy way to assist young teams would be to allow more time.

If a team has been in existence for 1-2 years then their ship date would be 8 weeks after kickoff. For teams 3-4 years ship date would be 7 weeks after kickoff. All other teams ship 6 weeks after kickoff.

It just allows more time for inexperienced teams to get their act together.
