Go to Post We should have a 'Steps Taken For FIRST' contest. Everyone wear a pedometer and keep a log of how many miles you walked at the St. Louis Championship. That could be a lot of fun. Do they make pedometers for robot carts? - JaneYoung [more]

Interesting... our experience this past year with them is exactly opposite. I can't even count the number of FP's we burned up with our elevator this year. In the off season here, we stopped buying the "new" ones that were legal this year, and instead threw on an old one from 2008, as it was just sitting there. Haven't had a single problem with it since, and that includes a full day of playing matches at an off season event (only 10 teams were there too, so we were on the field almost every other match). This years FP's would last maybe 2 rounds in the eliminations at North Star this past year.
