Robot in 3 Days : Feedback

[George1902]

Two things that I can think of would really add to the show this year.

First, it takes three days to build the robot, but MONTHS of planning go into it. I'd love to see an introductory feature on how you guys prepared for this year. What you learned from last year, where you'll build, who's on the team this year, what equipment and parts you've assembled in advance, etc.

Second, I don't remember if you had some sort of countdown timer last year. I think you did. What would be neat is if you correlated "Ri3D time" to "FRC time." You guys have 3 days, we have 6 weeks. So, every 12 hours for you is like a week for us. Some sort of live reminder of that fact would help keep everything in context. I suggest miketwalker ringing a cow bell every 12 hours and screaming "End of week 1!! Beginning of week 2!!!! WOOOHOO!!!11!one!" Or something.
