Geez...
Ok, I know I'm probably gonna get flamed for posting this, but... wow, guys... calm down. I understand the reasons behind everybody disliking the rule, but come on... nobody ever said the competition was going to be easy, and this is an incentive to use our alotted weight to make our robot as robust as possible. We all have the same problem we need to work around here, so let's do the best we can, right? It's an engineering challenge, and there's really no point engineering a robot to be overly fragile anyways. If you do things right, you should be able to protect all of your robot's vital components. We asked for head-2-head competition back, and we got it, and as a result, we got the consequences that go along with it. There's no point asking for h-2-h action if we can't handle the fact that THINGS MAY GET BROKEN. It's a fact of life, so we should all just deal with it and then go build our robots. There's no referees in the real world, and if you view it as "just a game", then it seems to me that you're getting too worked up about it. Anyways, that's just my 2 cents. I'm off to keep workin on the 'bot.
Keep it real
