It's not a punishment at all.
You're drafting a team and a robot. That robot is made up of many design decisions that may be positive or negative. This wouldn't be any different than passing up a team because their mechanical design isn't robust due to choices they made.

You haven't even played the first match. That's sort of a bold stance to take. I suppose I could do the same.
I pour money and time into FRC and there are often field and technology problems in the control system.
Perhaps I shouldn't do that any more  I mean I take risk doing that. I could cut my losses.
Cause I can actually prove that these issues have cost matches - where as I can make no such claim about these ESC.
You've implied there's a standard for testing here - so I honestly wonder what it might be because an ill-defined standard isn't much of standard. |
