Re: paper: Stop the Stop Build
The Average Joes built a practice robot this year, because we knew (from our last two years) that the way to be competitive* is to practice. More access to our competition robot would have been a better solution.
IMHO, the issues of robot access and cheesecake can be separated. The motivation to offer or accept cheesecake is more dependent on game design.
I'm with Jim, Andy and Dr. Joe on robot access. How will we get there? I like Jim's proposal as a first step.

*Like the way to Carnegie Hall, or the Olympics, or MIT.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
