Use half the robot's allowed weight for flywheels and use that energy to continue to drive! It's the future! |

Perhaps the reason we are all so frustrated with empty platitudes is that we do see them regularly and FIRST as an organization should aspire to be something greater than the empty soulless hellscape that is corporate mediocrity. |

During alliance selections, if a team representative Graciously Accepts, that alliance carries a yellow card with them through playoffs. |

While others have listed lots of good alternatives, if it came down to it, I'd rather have true champs than two champs.... |

It's not the judges' responsibility to keep streaks alive. That's on the teams to continue pushing the envelope of what they can achieve with their programs, and continue giving the judges new and better reasons to select them each year. |

This is good training for the real world, where you will have to deal with those kinds of projects that make you die a little inside every time. It's very inspiring stuff! |

Bag and tag is so unfair. The practice bot does all of the hard work and the competition bot gets all the credit and glory. |

I would try removing comments from your code. You have no idea how much weight comments add to your code. Being overweight is usually the programmer's fault. |

If the greatest injustice we see in FRC this year is that a rookie team is allowed to compete when they show up with a kitbot that is 1/4" too wide, I for one will be ecstatic. |

If the rules need to be read a specific way to convey the intended meaning, then they might not actually be clear. |

One of my former students went on to intern with SpaceX and Tesla, and is now back as a mentor. He came early today and I introduced him to my class. He got a pretty solid reception that might compare favorably to being a pro athlete. The first question he got was about the $. |

Also, unlike FRC most houses don't have to deal with other houses ramming them at high speeds repeatedly. |
