lol. as a member of the week 1 regionals for the fourth year this year, i have to comment that the same will probably be true. it always seems like the NJ regional runs a lot less smoothly than NY (last week in previous years). im not sure how this could be remedied, as FIRST wont have 50+ teams ready to play before week 1 to try out the game.

but in general, i think the idea for G14 is a good one, but it will certainly not be as much fun as trying to get the highest possible score.

another bad thing about week 1 this year is the open "fix-it" windows, which seems to allow all teams unlimited time to work on parts for our robots, at least that is how i read it.
