Re: 2009 ThunderChicken Robot
 
I personally don't think this is thier robot, but even is this is still relevent:

Imagine if a rookie team posted a fake picture of thier robot or said it worked using magic when asked how it worked. I'm sure you won't get the same reaction

This post sums up the double standard well: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...65&postcount=8

Edit: Eh, I probably should not have posted this in this thread. My belief is that its is not fair for some teams to post teasers or not answer questions while other rookie or 'unknown' teams do the same get negitive rep and 'run out of CD'. I still believe that, but understand that by posting in this thread, it puts the blame solely on Paul and 217, which is completely unfair. They did nothing wrong. I guess I should have saved this rant for those who are the ones giving negitive rep out. Anway, sorry again for causing a distraction.

First of all, why do you think it is fake? Second, nowhere does it state in the CD forums rules that we have to answer all questions about the robot.

And another thing: why are you so uptight about a so called "double standard"? Some people get uptight about the silliest things. Personally, I don't care how silly the teaser is I just ignore it. I think some of them are hilarious and others are stupid but who cares?

All I can say is relax, I thought this was supposed to be fun ....

What?

Sorry, but that was totally uncalled for. I'm going to post up all the "fake" robot pictures I want too. You're taking a joking comment and making it into something significant.

It is fun, Paul.

You guys haven't put yourselves on a pedestal but others have put you there, it appears. Just keep having fun, humor will return for many after ship day. Well, there's a good chance of it, anyway.

Paul,

You just have to get used to all the buzzkills around here. Some people just need to have something to complain about. Having fun would just cut into their complaining time.

Lolz.

Its a valid point about double standards, but its wrong to put out 217 on the spot when they don't do it to themselves. If people want to desperately voice their complaints, then make a ridiculous new thread or add to an existing related thread. Don't put teams out on the spot.

For example: "Those teams 816 and 1323 needs to stop posting pictures of their robots, nobody cares about them. I wanted to know how the frames were put together and they said 'magic' so I don't like them anymore."

*Reminder, I'm a friend of both teams*
