Teams missing matches, something must be done

[James Dowd]

Maybe FIRST should consider using the kitbot idea previously mentioned.

I was part of the OCCRA Competition in Suburban Detroit while in high school, and they used a "placebo" in some capacity. (I don't remember the exact provisions for its use).

During my year in OCCRA the bot consisted of a drivetrain with a toilet plunger, so it did nothing but play effective defense. Perhaps FIRST could use something of this sort to fill in. I mean a drivetrain that can play defense is better than nothing and will be more entertaining than the alternative.
