Re: [RSN] Give Us Your Q's for Frank to Answer Tonight!
What is the logic behind the decision made to change the schedule for kick off teams to receive field drawings?
If the drawings weren't done that is frankly unacceptable as the field had to have gone through play testing by then, if not then how can FIRST be sure that the game is fair, and the "team built field" elements are anywhere close to reasonable facsimile? If it was done for competitive integrity, why did it matter this year over a game that gave arguably a bigger advantage in 2016? If it was to prevent field leaks why not create a small difference in each drawing so if the drawing is posted you know where the leak came from? (Kim Kardashian figured this out with her baby photos, I assume people at FIRST are smarter than her) |

Re: [RSN] Give Us Your Q's for Frank to Answer Tonight!
When will we see major updates to (S)TIMS? There are clearly improvements in the works but most of what we've seen so far has been minor and registration is still a very involved process.

Re: [RSN] Give Us Your Q's for Frank to Answer Tonight!
Any chance we can just decide that releasing team versions of the field drawings before kickoff does not give away that much of the game but could be beneficial to teams who want to start day 1 with field elements?

Re: [RSN] Give Us Your Q's for Frank to Answer Tonight!
This field is one of the hardest for average teams to recreate accurately. With the team drawings, pilots will get no interaction or practice before competition and drive teams will have a hard time practicing without a superstructure in the way that are not provided in team drawings.
Teams then have the hard decision to make of delegating resources, time, and money to developing a "hybrid" between the team and field drawings to get a semi accurate practice pieces/field. Was that taken into consideration upon picking this game/field and something FIRST wants to improve on in later years? Thanks ![]() |

Re: [RSN] Give Us Your Q's for Frank to Answer Tonight!
Any thoughts on how Ref'ing will go this year? Doesn't seem like a lot for the Ref's to watch for. You still might need 4 Ref's (plus the HR) in order to see all parts of the field.
Will FMS do the Rotor and Touch Pad Scoring? Or will that be done by the Ref's? |

Did you inform McMaster Carr that up to 3000+ FRC teams would all be attempting to acquire a very specific spring ASAP all on the same weekend?

Re: [RSN] Give Us Your Q's for Frank to Answer Tonight!
Follow-up: if not, would the GDC consider at least releasing the "buy list" or BoM of the team drawings as an annual game hint to help teams hit the ground running?
