Re: Mini Bot - displeasure

Also, although I agree with the minibot change as a safety concern, I am still displeased with the execution of the minibot idea. Along with being unfair to teams without FTC teams near them, it changes the dynamic of the minibot race. Instead of "Whose unique minibot can get to the top first?" it becomes "Whose robot can get to the tower and have their drivers press a button with 10 seconds left in order to get basically the same minibot as everyone else to start climbing first?"
