Which brings up an interesting question -- does the end justify the means? Is it OK to lie about (or exaggerate) a problem on your own bot so that you can illegally (but graciously) give the other alliance time to fix theirs?  |
We had not used our Alliance's time out yet and so we used our own, but 11/245/2187 made it clear that if we needed 6 more minutes, in the spirit of FIRST, the were glad to provide.
I also love FIRST now! It's amazing to experience such comradery with EVERY team. As a former football player(last season was my last) I've never felt so much joy from helping and being helped by teams we've competed against. Thank you Dean and Woody for creating this environment in hopes to make the world a Better place.
