Hey, I agree with you!

If I may, however, it seems the tone of your message may come off as slightly negative, with the all capitalized NEVER and your final comment of "Not even worth discussing.".

Now, does that bother me? Not at all, but Poseidon5817 appears to be a student, and shutting down a student's idea in a harsh way may lead to students shying away from sharing their new ideas to the public (especially when it comes from a mentor of 254, whom students look up to on this site). The idea may not work out, but next time I'd suggest explaining your thought process as to why it may not work as well as the student intended and avoid the phrasing that makes it sound like "No, your idea is terrible!". That way next time this student has a good idea (and while it doesn't work, I still think this is a good idea to combat a well-known problem in FRC), the student will feel more comfortable sharing what he/she thinks up and instead isn't hesitant to speak because previously others shut him/her down right away.

Just an idea Let's build students up instead of breaking them down.
