[FTC]: What do you wish FTC would...

[Loose Screw]

I would like to see more Jr. High teams. I personally believe FTC to be a smaller version of FRC that acts as a sort of bridge between FLL and FRC. Sizing cube, motor limit, auto-teleop matches, alliances, qual/final matches, drive team, awards, and games are very similar to FRC, but scaled down in a way.

FTC and FRC bots have to start in a sizing box, but FTC has less restrictions than FRC typically has.

FTC bots are limited to a set amount of motors of (usually) one type, where FRC has many different types of motors, each with a limited amount (CIMS, ect).

FTC and FRC share the auto-teleop match system, but FRC has a shorter auto period.

FTC and FRC both have alliances for matches, but FTC only has alliances of two where FRC has three.

FTC has four alliance captains in finals, whereas FRC has eight. The pick order slightly differs where FTC picks 1234 1234, where FRC picks 12345678 87654321.

The drive teams are exactly the same, except for FRC has an additional human player.

The FRC games usually focus on one task with associated parts (stack totes to earn more points from RC), where FTC has multiple objectives of somewhat equal value (balls into rolling goals, rolling goals up ramps, center goal).

It is FIRST's goal to see a FRC team in every high school, and with that logic I would like to see a FTC team in every jr. high school.
