Re: Stop The Madness
this GP fairlyland as you put it is what the first community is based on. If i remember correctly i joined first to learn about real world situations...IE things not going your way, dealing with inherent controversy, and moving on. Building robots was just a ploy to drag me into it. Debating rules is about as low on the totem pole as you can get besides name calling and team bashing. So, i dont know where you all come up with the ideas that the refs are soley out to "break your hearts", we simply do our job....you p*** and moan about why your robot was shut off when your arm is 10' above the players station...oh i dont know, maybe FIRST doesnt want the liablitlty of tetras falling and splitting someone skull open.
Jeez, im not that smart...but with a little common sense i manage to find logical decisions. i think more people should use that, common sense, its a shame to see so much wasted potential due to stupidity.
now for some lighter comments, at Pittsburgh 2 weeks ago, one team floored me with their GP ora. team 395 straight outa bronx blew me away. there were tons of decisions that haad to be made...and wether they went thier way or not, they kept their heads high, and my gosh...if i had a sticker and cookies i would've given all of them to them.
i need to go to bed BLAH
