I agree with everything other than these two points, the kitbot allows you to at least meet the bare minimum requirement for competition. All teams HAVE to move in order to compete. Remember, the competitions is the means to an end. While I agree with the thought that some FRC teams would be better off competing in FTC and VRC I have come to accept that the vision of FIRST is that all students have access to this program.


The low weight limit is to force us into creative thinking. Though, I was a fan of 2007 with the multiple weight classes. Perhaps make weight a function of initial volume.
