Re: After Coming Back From The LA Regional: My Thoughts On FIRST

Seems to reflect the "real life" more. Different companies have their own ways and products that they use to build their products... Its not all the same. I think more freedom will allow more interesting robots
There's a few reasons.. First, it's less expensive getting the KoP than buying all your own things. FIRST gets them at reduced prices and passes those on. Secondly, it lessens the advantage to the more affluent teams (who you were complaining about) because they can get products that will run simply better than what other teams can afford. i'm sure there's more reasons, but those are just a couple.
