Re: What FIRST did RIGHT...
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.
