Re: Ethics of 2 teams building 2 identical robots
Something that I may not have been clear about is that the 2 students that were moved were kids that were there to just build a robot, and didnt care if they went to worlds to compete. The kids that were pushing at the beginning of season to combine the teams for world were the ones that were happy in the stands. They are choosing to not come back because of the coach, who decided to change his mind anyway without consulting the students. At the beginning of the season EVERYONE was told that the teams would be completely separate by competition. Some kids were not happy about that, but they became even more mad when the coach decided to do it anyway, without consulting anyone, including the captains of the 2 teams.
And Dale. We did use 1510's bot as a practice bot between Seattle and Worlds. And as far as I know, the 1510 students didnt mind that we did that.
