to me, it's exciting to see the matches, but only if the bots out there are cool teams with cool robots. otherwise, they look boring.

on the other hand, destruction is fun too... none of that this year though. i wish FIRST just told us to MAKE a certain robot each.... and assigned us to make the robot that does that particular job.

it would intrigue us and even help rookies because they already know what to build (not how, what). but if they wish to add more features, they are also welcome to....

that way matches can be prearranged with all robots doing a specific task they were asked to build.

will it make the 6 weeks boring? heck no. you can innovate more than ever... furthermore, games will look be more fun to watch..

just imagine, FIRST robotics becomes a real sport! 4 robots, maybe 2 asked to make defenders, 1 on offense, and one on goalie? ahh... many things u can imagine.

what do you think? raves and rants?
