Re: It could happen to you (but we hope not)

Well, that explains quite a bit. I was watching the stream and became quite confused over this situation. For the record, I think that you are correct: There were some gaffes on the part of the refs, and time constraints pushed the decisions toward the quickest form of resolution, rather than the best one, at the end of this series of unfortunate events. Of course I am a biased and relatively uninformed observer, so my opinion in this matter should be taken with a grain of salt.

In terms of robot ruggedness, I really feel for those who have received the short end of the stick and experienced damage on the field. Our 2013 Bot was forced to drop out of the national competition last year due to such circumstances.

I can't wait to meet up with 1410 and all the northern CO teams again in Denver. Hang tight and stay focused, there are some great bots this year that have a real shot at nationals!
