Re: 494........

As the engineering coach for team 494, I will say this:

During the play-offs we received a warning from the refs for aggressive play. I was also informed by a young man from one of our opponents' teams what we had done to their robot with our goal hook. I appologized to him and then we tied the hook back out of the way. After the next match, we removed it from the robot.

I take personal responsibility for putting a robot out onto the field with a device such as this. It was a mistake, I am sorry, I was wrong.

Never again will we put a robot on the field with a device that can act like a harpoon, spear, etc.

Sincerely,

Jay TenBrink
