FIRST, the big robots

 I volunteered to help at the FIRST Championships in 2019 and was assigned to the high school age FIRST large robots. The variety and how simple robots from poorer countries kept up with the fancy all wires in row via clips richer countries.  Strategy was to do as much of challenges as possible and in necessary hinder your opponent for doing challenges.   Better teams had roles assigned, but rotated some so all got to be active on the field during some challenge. Two teams competed against two other teams. Here is a video of part of a match.
