During the season? Wouldn't those teams have some other method of communicating between meetings? I really doubt a team could field any sort of a effective robot in 12 days of work.

I never said competitive.

You'd be surprised at how many teams out there only work 5-10 hours a week. There are definitely greatly varying levels of team involvement in FRC.

That was our rookie season.

For sure, I just expect most teams to have some sort of alternative communication. When we used to work 5 hours a week (and our robots reflected that) FIRST choice could still be sorted out with a couple of emails. It's not as if you miss the due date you are out of luck, traditional ordering is still available.
