What Have Been The Gains Over The Past 20 Years In FRC?
In reading the 1st Game Hint thread, it has reminded me that 20 years have passed since the very first FRC game. The Game Hint thread is providing an opportunity to think about the gains over the last 20 years. I wouldn't say there are any losses because - 20 years ago, there was no FRC. Which also brings up the question - what were the other robotics competitions 20 years ago and how many of the current robotics competitions have roots in FRC?
Being a non-engineering mentor, I don't have any idea what the technical value and gains have been but perhaps engineers and technical mentors can give some insight in that area.
This is a fantastic time/opportunity for FIRST to share their history and the gains that have been made. I'm wondering if we are as aware of them as we could be.
What do you think?

I wanted to make an epoxy/carbon fiber/fiberglass arm for our 'bot, but I was outvoted by conservative teenagers. Oh well...
