Sign Up - No Collusion in Archimedes!
 
Folks:

With all these threads about collusion and the upcoming grand finale of the FIRST season, I would like to see the teams from the ARCHIMEDES DIVISION show their stuff and

JUST SAY NO TO COLLUSION!!!

If you agree with this. Please reply to this note!

See you in Houston!!!!
:D

365 is "first" on the list
 
Team 365, the DuPont Miracle Workerz, are saying NO to collusion in the Archimedes Division.

Hope to have you join us.

I want this to die. I fear that this so called 'alliance to not collude' is going to be more of a head ache than a solution.

John Larock 08-04-2003 08:38

I understand
 
JosephM.

These threads will die - after the Championship ends. From my standpoint, I would like it to end also. However, as long as there is a game to play with the rules that exist, the topic will exist.

All I would like to know is who is supportive of this in our division. Many people have spent time discussing this on other threads. I do not want to tread through that muck again.

All I want to know is, for Archimedes teams, do you agree.

If you have an answer, please post here. If not, don't.

Thanks.

See you in Texas!

Rocket City Robotics don't play that game ....
 
Team 34, Rocket City Robotics will not participate in collusion. We've managed to win two regionals without it.:D

Jeff Waegelin 08-04-2003 10:54

Team 201, The FEDS, will not participate in collusion in any way, shape or form.

THAT IS DUMB
 
ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU DON'T WONT ANYONE TO HIT EACHOTHER. THAT IS KINDA DUMB SINCE IT IS PART OF THE GAME AND IF YOUR ROBOT IS BUILT GOOD ENOUGH THEN IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND UP TO THE HITS THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE.

MY BAD
 
SORRY A COLLUSION NOT COLLISION MY BAD HAVEN'T GOT MUCH SLEEP BEN PACKING AND STUFF

Not Quite
 
You are referring to "COLLISION." That is not the subject of this thread. Collision is expected.

Check out some of the other threads on this topic. COLLUSION is defined as follows...

Main Entry: colˇluˇsion
Pronunciation: k&-'lü-zh&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin collusion-, collusio, from colludere
Date: 14th century
: secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose
- colˇluˇsive /-'lü-siv, -ziv/ adjective
- colˇluˇsiveˇly adverb

While I do not necessary agree with the definition as it relates to what we are discussing here, that's the topic.

Bottom line - we are asking teams if they plan to work with other teams to fix matches (however that can be interpreted).

Let the collisions occur; not the collusion!

There will be no collusion around the 157 area nor on the playing field. And JosephM you seem a little upset about team going against collusion?? hmmmm...

I'm not against teams going against collusion nor do I like collusion, but I think that if we do this type of agreement we won't play the game, but we will try to run around and prosecute those who haven't signed.

MarcusF 08-04-2003 11:58

I think its less about going around and prosecuting teams who do, but more like if you come around and ask us you know what we will say. The basic fact is it is a more exciting game when there is action, also the collusion artificially inflates scores and teams that maybe Shouldn't be high up in the standings are.

Ken Patton 08-04-2003 12:57

Also, Team #5 is going to sign this contract. I realize that I am not in the same division, but I do wish to say that Team 5 WILL NOT participate in any collusions that are brought to us...
