Re: Problem's with 2015…

I kind of take the games like contract bidding opportunities. I may not prefer the type of work (or the game) but me and my guys gotta eat (or play the game FIRST puts out). Some years are better than others but you try and put out the best product.

Contrary to some on this feed, our parents and sponsors did enjoy watching the game this year. But I can see how 3rd parties might not enjoy it. Our students definitely enjoyed the engineering challenge and learned much from it. Similar to many on this feed I was a little distraught over the roles played by 3rd teams in the higher seeded alliances. I know any robot can push a tote around but if there is a small chance they get in our way (and slow us down) or they knock over one of our stacks, a few points is just not worth the risk - tough decisions.
