Re: Not bagging entire robot? (Rule Change)
With the proliferation of VEX and AndyMark robot components, I wish they would change this rule. For most teams the only non-COTS parts are their frame and structures of their robot. A well rehearsed team could quite feasibly bring their entire robot to a competition unbagged and assemble it at the venue quite easily.

What I would really love to see is having the teams try to solve a problem that is real scientists are trying to solve right now. Wouldn't it be cool if a team came up with a robot design that could solve one of the world's worst problems? Talk about FIRST publicity! - Beth Sweet [more]
