I came in expecting either fully autonomous robots or something like battle bots. Never expected a seemingly random game with lots of different elements put together. At the end, it just seemed like an advanced RC machine. I'm not complaining, but it is forcing me to get out of my comfort zone. FRC just felt like tee ball than baseball. It was so restricted.

Seriously though, I would LOVE to participate in the Grand Challenges. Just the thought of it excites me.
It's very helpful to master tee ball before playing baseball.
