Re: Team 100 what are you up too?!?!

The GDC should be nervous. I don't know anything specific about what Team 100 has planned, but there is a red-card offense that will probably account for 50% or more of all Friday red cards.

<T03> says that if a non-inspected (or not re-inspected) partner participates in a match and this is discovered, the entire alliance is red carded. I haven't seen any clarification on whether the team simply not showing up absolves the partners of that red card, but I certainly hope that that is the case.

If you have not been inspected, or you have modified your robot and not been re-inspected, do your partners a favor: don't show up to the match, but tell them beforehand that you haven't been inspected so they can plan on your not being there!

I think that's what Team 100 was worried about. I would be willing to bet that most of the questions on rankings (i.e., why are we so low, we won 5 matches and we're only listed as winning 2) will come from teams whose partners had robots that hadn't passed, and sent a human player to the field.
