Re: Team Update #18
I'm torn on this one.
On one hand, I believe the intent of the minibot race was to get their first (it's a race after all, it's displayed as such on the scoring metric) and I'm glad to see that refs stepped in when the technology couldn't.
But I'm also frustrated at the refs changing the rules again, while I don't agree with this team update, and I think it's a bad idea, if that's the rule, and that's what every team started working towards, it should be enforced as such. This particular dilemma is precisely why I thought it was a bad idea to throw all their weight behind the system like this, I don't think it's ready yet. Of course, we have no way of knowing if it's ready since we're still working on vague definitions of the 'black magic' actually required to trip the sensor. For all we know it's actually working 100% perfectly, but I suspect that isn't the case.
