What FIRST did RIGHT...

[Winged Wonder]

well, i'm excited! i'm going to keep this brief, since everything i was thinking someone has already mentioned on the thread, but this year FIRST really did a good job on leveling out the playing field. (no pun intended considering the floor is nice and flat this year) anyways, i guess what i'm trying to say that regardless if you are a rookie team or if you've been involved in FIRST for years, this Game has a lot of new things incorporated in it that really gives rookies a great fighting chance for once. There's a lot of room for imagination, i cant wait to see what everyone has come up with.

on behalf of pink, i wish everyone the best of luck.

Since no one has specifically mentioned this so far, I would like to congratulate FIRST on finally making sure that there was nothing missing from the KOP this year. I'm always the one taking inventory, and usually it drives me crazy when I can't find several of the most important parts, but this year-- everything was there! A few pieces seemed to be missing, but within a day, after checking out this wonderful site, we found out what was up with those sensors and the 'missing' motors, so everything was there! It was definitely a relief to all of us out there who freak out about this.

I also like how, even with all the responsibilities loaded on the robots, the human players are still given important things to do, and are kept on their toes by use of those pressure mats.

I'll post more as I think of it.

Game play. With 6 robots on the field and with the help with programing, people that are not involved with FIRST might come to watch the matches and not get board of watching and get involved in this fine org.
