Re: Team Update #1

For years, many items have been included in the kit that many teams never used for anything. This is still the case with several items. My team has piles of them. However, this year, they require some very specific parts to compete in a significant component of the game, yet they aren't included in the kit. Go figure...

Why was it even on FIRST Choice, if it's not a choice to use those parts or not? I don't see simply not attempting a MINIBOT as a choice. At least not to be competitive. It should have just been included in the kit for everyone if they insist on requiring those specific parts.
