Re: 2010 Lesson Learned: The Positive

I liked the bumpers. We started day one with a design and we have bumpers that come off and on in under 5 mins, a few minutes slower than a battery change.

My personal lesson learned was first week competitors are crazy. We did FLR this year and didn't twink to the first week part until mid-Feb when we figured out that it was going to be a non-stop effort to be ready with a robot, a travel plan, a Chairmans award submission, etc, etc, etc. by 3 March.

Hats off to you that pull it off every year! We learned we love Rochester, love their northern neighbors from Canada, but we won't be back for week 1. See you for Ruckus in the fall!
