Hi. I am the Controls Captain and Buttons for Team Fusion. First of all, it is completely out of line to say my mentor does not care about the program and/or his position. And "his lack of caring" referred to our outrage that about sudden rule changes for the past two years. When my mentor brought the issue up to him and stated we weren't returning, all he had to say was "as you wish." Furthermore, rules, even at off-season events, need to be stated openly for all to hear, such as at a drivers meeting, so no teams are blindsided by sudden changes, as the teams at the competition were.
With a test of robots comes a test between powerhouse alliances. If you cannot perform competitively at a competition, you should expect to be knocked out by a powerhouse alliance during eliminations. The rule change concerning the brackets would have been acceptable,
had it not been sudden. Teams would have been able to scout appropriately.
Finally, we do not think your hard work went to nothing. We all, the six of us who went, believe the tournament was great before the sudden changes. We were having a great time, as we have the past three years, but were let down for the second time by bad calls on the management's part. By posting this thread on Chief Delphi, we did not mean to put down your team's hard work in putting together this competition. We only meant to speak our minds on what went wrong, and to say that it let us down for the second year in a row.
