Re: Elitist Teams
I think Adam has addressed this issue in a very thoughtful and fair manner. I'll echo the statements made by others about Team 67. They're behavior on and off the field has always been impeccable during the interactions I've had with them. Their students in the pit are always open to answer questions or even have random conversations.
As for a robot "ramming" its partner, in this year's game unintentional ramming between partners is going to happen often. There are 4 spots on each side of the playing field that are high traffic zones, and they're all within a tight proximity of each other. I've lost track of the number of times we've been rammed by our partners while setting up our shots in the key. Mildly frustrating, yes. Intentional? Absolutely not. It's just a case of two robots trying to get to two separate destinations, with paths that intersect. With robots moving as fast as they do nowadays, these types of collisions are unavoidable.
