With more than 260 robots competing in the World Championships, it added two more chances to win that didn't require good alliance partners or a favorable draw in competition matches. The top teams at the Programming Skills Challenge were the best in autonomous, and the top Robot Skills Challenge teams were the best offensive scorers. My prediction is that 2009-2010 will have a lot more teams specializing in the Skills competitions.

If there is any logistical way (with only one field) to incorporate Skills Challenges in FRC, I'm sure the teams would enjoy it.
