Re: Un happy times

I would try to bring the offending member back into the fold. Recruiting could be difficult when there's a student badmouthing the team to everyone. Regarding hjow you did in the tournament, 15th is a good finish, especially for a rookie team, and especially in a regional with powerhouse teams. As others have said, try not to blame people, everyone makes mistakes. I know that I've touched a tube in autonomous without thinking, and I know that we've lost an important match because the minibot battery wasn't strapped in. The important thing is to learn from mistakes, and make sure they don't happen again.
