Re: [FVC]: Longer competitions

One of the reasons teams at Championships needed to return to their pits was for the judges to interview them! Several teams that had been identified as potential award-winners never seemed to be in their pits when we came around.

When you have such small teams as ours on FVC, it's difficult to do scouting, visit the practice area, travel back and forth from pits to competition field, and still staff your pit with enough team members that the judges can interview you. It's one of those things we have to work on, as the program evolves.
