Anne, this is most helpful! i'm sure you had this in mind when you decided to write the whitepaper, but i'll say it anyway:
rookieteams really have no way of knowing whats going to go on!
i mean we know theres a competition, and theres a team, and objectives, but beyond that we are really stumped (for example just the other day i was informed that damaging the carpet on which the robots drive will automaticly disqualify you... this meant discarding an entire design, on which other designs were based, because it
might damage the carpet!)
Thanks again,
