Re: Ethics of Telling a Team "No"
It's all about collaboration. Even a partially disabled bot can be a great asset. We got drafted by seed 1(4334) and seed 2(2013) in the canadian western regional final. Our shooter/ ball controller got disabled just before the elimination because one 3d printed part broke ( we've since replace all essential 3d printed part with cnc aluminum parts). Instead of telling us to sit in the corner, team 2013 did some modification to our bot with cardboard and duct tape to smoothen the assist. We become the best in bound player and defence. We score the second highest world score of 325 point in the quarter final and proceed to win the regionals.
