Re: My Thoughts on the FTC Platform Change
There has recently been an email blast and update on the blog.

Apparently we won't be needing machining, which is a great thing to hear.

edit: "The new platform allows us to challenge teams with real world robotics issues."

I'm a bit worried this means they will be converting FTC to a competition like FLL. Nothing against FLL, but I really like the FTC competition format, with teams facing each other, the way it is.
