Re: The end of week 3
Boy can I relate to the noncompetitiveness of a team...our team is usually good, and we're going to get a decent 'bot out there at KC, but at the same time, I wish that the team would strive to compete up there alongside Bomb Squad and Team Titanium and Winnovation.
It made me really sad when I told someone on our team about something 1717 does, only to recieve back "Are we Team 1717? No, we're 2410." I know that we're not d'Penguineers, but that still doesn't mean we can't emulate what an award winning team does. (The reference in question was how d'Penguineers tweak their practice bot, and fabricate their competition bot only when they're absolutely sure about what works and what doesnt. -Reference from The New Cool- because our team rushed through prototyping and straight to metal fabrication. This arised because I asked our shooter team if they had tested everything and they said "No, but our metal shooter will be modular so we can continue testing.)
