Re: I've been out of FIRST for a while and decided I want to mentor again.
In the time since you've left Beatty is still Beatty, but HOT is starting to give them a run for their money as the most consistently good team in the competition by making the championship finals 3 years in a row ('08-10) and winning back to back titles ('09, '10).
Also Beatty is no longer the only team to have multiple championships.
67 & 111 each have 3
148, 177, 217 & 294 each have 2.
The "commercial off the shelf" (COTS) parts rules have really revolutionized how easy it is to build a robot. The amount of parts you can buy now makes designing a robot that much easier.
Autonomous mode is serious now, you can't win without having a consistent auton program.

We know that the real goal of FIRST is not for this robot to win, but that we learn something. If i was on robotics to win, it wouldn't be nearly as fun. - Nin_estarSaerah [more]
