[quote=Scott_4140;1170727] I think expanding the field to 16x16 and developing games that are more fan friendly, can quickly change perceptions.

I think for FTC you might want bigger better motors at that point. Thats alot of distance to cover with an average of 1-2 fps tops 3-4. and if you made the field bigger I think the robots should also be bigger to accomodate for the sheer fact your adding so much area but this means that game objects can be bigger scoring elements can be bigger and so on so fourth.

Bigger motors, maybe. Bigger robots would destroy the benefit of the larger field. FTC robots need more room to maneuver. Besides at 3 fps, it would only take 5 seconds to cross the entire field. That’s faster than FRC.
