[BB]Changes to Robot Ship

Relief for the Mid-Atlantic teams, and the latest batch of control system updates. (Rules update should reflect this when it comes out.) |
Re: [BB]Changes to Robot Ship
...wow. 65 pounds. That's most of the robot. Like, I think I'm going to push for witholding everything but the bumper frame and hanger now.
Thanks Bill for a clear explanation of why there is no extension and an alternate, creative solution. |

Re: [BB]Changes to Robot Ship
Usually we try to plan for the fact that we will miss some days due to snow. We have never missed less than two, and never more than 8. We haven't hit 8 yet this season, but with today gone, we might get there. This is a skillful compromise. The big problem this year is missing the entire fourth weekend, then half of the week following, and now likely a good chunk of the last week. Days lost late in the build season generally mean more lost work and less time to reschedule and make up for the losses.

Re: [BB]Changes to Robot Ship
This may sound like sour grapes, but......we are a first week regional. We ONLY get 8 more days to work, while last week teams get another 6 weeks. Is that fair?

Surely the question of fairness would arise if only those teams who have been snowed in got to keep weight back, or if the amount changed depending on some arbitrary decision. |

Re: [BB]Changes to Robot Ship
There is another thread with this same theme. I posted there and I will post here also..

But...there doesn't seem like everything is "fair", with teams going on to second regionals, and teams winning there way into Atlanta, can they withhold 65 pounds off there bot after the regional win and then work on that before Atlanta? I am just asking. |

Everything isn't fair, never has been, never will be.
Great lesson to teach the kids. |

Re: [BB]Changes to Robot Ship
this is a good update to hear because I know my team has lost a weekend and several other days due to bad weather and we are expected to get more -_- so its nice that we might not be in as big of an ordeal

Re: [BB]Changes to Robot Ship
I'm liking Bills Blog today! :D
But thank you for explaining why ship date cannot be pushed back for teams, very insightful. |
