Re: Lesson Learned: The Positive.

I liked the low-physical-defense nature of this year's game. It meant that teams who built a good robot could actually exhibit their hard work semi-freely and worry less about it getting damaged by over-zealous defenders. Teams that wanted to slow their opponents down had to actually think about what they were doing with trackball-bumping and pinning, rather than simply "HULK RAM".

Rack 'n Roll (and to a lesser extent Aim High) kind of made me think of WW1: It was far, far easier to defend than to score, so each match was a form of trench warfare.
-------------------------------------
I liked the low cost-of-entry autonomous mode. It makes for an exciting autonomous mode because almost every team is capable of doing a timed drive-forward. However, it was still challenging enough that it took a lot of skill to get 3 or more lines. So the low cost of entry and high cost of perfection made a very good autonomous mode. This is the opposite of last year's, where only the very best robots could even put the tube on, and most robots just sat there.

Re: Lesson Learned: The Positive.

The teams, as always.

as far as LSR( the only event I went to this year). the Katy event center was AWESOME, yes getting from pits to stands was interesting, but having all the hotels close by, the food close by, and a tractor supply sharing a parking lot . . it was nice there.

the AM gear boxes . . 10^6x better than last year.
kit chassis, I love this thing so easy so sturdy.
