Lightweights, Lowriders, and other compound words brought to you by the letter "L"...

Lightweight award, here here! I would love to see that come back. No holes drilled in the robot rendered over yonder <-- that weighed in at 104.9 lbs; not the lightest robot that hit the carpet, but far from the heaviest, and quite possibly the most sturdy bot in Jersey. No welds either, but I won't step near that today.

Lowriders, like ours, work well on FLAT surfaces. I'd like to see the flat surfaces go away, maybe in favor of a moving floor (Naw, too expensive and BattleBots-like...) or a craggy surface. A rolling surface (~~~~~~~) would be neat too. Hey, how about a giant waterbed! Talk about making a skilled drive team mandatory...

Lemme think... Oh yes, FRC Chat. Chief Delphi and weekly updates from FIRST blow that idea out of the water. Calling FIRST up works better, and quicker too.

Lower-cost additional regional registration would be really nice. I would like to see that come into play. Just a bit lower, like down to half the regular registration.

LLLLLLLL... Well, that kinda ruined my theme, but anyway... Sending the animation software early is an excellent idea, and it really helps to be familiar with the software before the season's begining. And Autodesk's renderings of all kit parts are a good idea too. But FIRST should make an effort to make sure the shipping is quick and all teams actually recieve the software at the time that it was intended to arrive. And it should be made easier for teams, specifically the animation team members, to access Autodesk's rendering library.

Well, it's late, I think I'm pretty much done for now.
