I tried to have the reveal in August and the mentors / coaches loved it and the roboteers hated it.
I’ll bet @DanMantz if they leave a field up with the 2022-23 game on it there will be 8 robots playing that game by the time of the finals match of the HS tournament. There are teams that enough parts to build a second robot. And there will be the top design, CAD, engineering and build talent there.
TBH, RECF should put a starter kit out on the table next to the new game and watch the new “Hero BOT” appear.
