It would seem to me that Al's post above says it all and that truth and justice will prevail. F.I.R.S.T. Must see this and reconsider. We have built a Tank and could probably be droped off a 10 story building but I recall our first year back in 1999 when we were advised to build a strong Robot but being Rookies we didnt know what a strong Robot ment.
We thought we bult strong but were wrong, we had our share of problems and many teams came to our rescue including TEAM 111 Thank you....
This caring and sharing will end this year as its every man for him self. why would any team want to fix a teams bot that might come out the next game and cause damage that in effect sends you home.
I know our team cant afford to make enough spare parts to cover all problems but all the rich teams and well funded teams wont have this concern. Last year we had a robot that as soon as we played the first game it was apparent that we had a very serious flaw and if it hadnt been for the three days between shipping and the end of the regionals we would not have been able to compeete in the nationals.
If F.I.R.S.T. DOESNT KNOW IT BROKE THEN THEY CANT FIX IT.
I HAVE STUCK PINS IN THE MAP AND EVEN THE CORNERS BUT I FOUND ALL CORNERS WERE THE SAME AND THE MAP FULL OF HOLES...
