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]

Size may be the most obvious difference between FRC and FTC robots, but it's certainly not the most important difference.

I, for one, would be happy to see a modest change to the size/weight limits this year - even if it's just for this one year. There's a rather fixed mindset in FRC when it comes to size and weight, and I'd love to see the GDC shake that up a bit. Besides the mindset changes this would force on veteran robot designers, also think about the possible changes to the game itself that would be possible with modestly smaller robots.

Hmm, lighter robots would float more easily - water game?
