I thought that too. Not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, it's promoting an alternate to FRC that a lot of teams may wish to consider, but it also seems kind of anticompetitive.
Here's hoping it turns out you can use FTC motors in FRC and there's actually a reason you'd want to do so.
It doesn't make a team better if they have just one sponsor or if they have 100 sponsors. However, you should commend a team who struggled to pay the bill with a list of sponsors one hundred long for showing their strength, perseverance and love for participating in the FIRST robotics program. - MikeDubreuil [more]
