Biggest joking in FRC: People expecting rules to stay the same each year.
Also: I've heard nothing is better than FRC and that something is better than nothing. Thus, something is better than FRC?! *If you follow, or are on, 365, you may have seen me say this to your team already*

Just for reference, this isn't it. Neither one is. (And... just for reference... usually it's only one that someone complains about.)

What? Unless I'm missing a joke here, I'm just adding to the list of teams that used mecanums on Einstein. My team used mecanums this year, I'm pretty sure I'm not bashing them.

I'm going to go out on a whim and say he was directing that to us, team 2512, the Duluth East Daredevils. Or Daredevils for short. Nothing racy or anything, it's okay I know him.

Just some comic relief in a comedy thread, I know, mind boggling.

The 24 year period between championsplits is alarmingly short.

If we keep doubling the number of championship events every 24 years, it'll only take 240 years until there are over 4,000 world champion robots. This may quickly become a problem, as there will soon be more world champion robot spots than teams. The exponential rate of increase of championships is at an all time high, and is currently higher than the growth rate of humans, high schools, FRC teams, and places that can host FRC championships. In 770 years, FRC championships will most likely outnumber human beings on earth, which will cause terrible overcrowding.
