I'm thinking its on the order of "What if 2010's XYZ is sufficiently different from the 2009 version that it would be unusable" or "What if aspect ABC of the 2010 game is sufficiently unusual that attempting to build now would be inappropriate (regolith)".
I think it is a part of a larger theme of "Even if we all loved 200X's game/rules/etc, recreating 200X over and over again isn't optimal or what we are about". Some people prefer Formula 1 racing, some people Rallies. Formula 1 is all about optimization and perfection, Rally Racing is about adaptability and agility. I believe FRC is more like Rally Racing.
Additionally, I hope that it is part of a "Think outside the KoP" theme. I'd love to see what teams came up with.
Its great for us as mentors to see students teaching other students and a robot being built from scratch without us. Maybe someday they won't need us at all!!! - DR3381 [more]
