I agree. I was really hoping to see some new and interesting methods of doing this. People with flywheels, surgical tube energy storage, etc.
It reminded me of that scene in Apollo 13, where they needed to fit a square CO2 scrubber into a round hole, they dumped out a bag of parts on the table and said "This is what we have. Build something.".
That'd be the true spirit of FIRST, not this.

I think we'll do the same at 1100
