You're being ridiculous, honestly, it's not perfect, it couldn't be, it's brand new and this is the first chance to test it. Just as it's the first chance to test your robot in competition conditions. You think your robots are the only systems that behave differently in competition than the shop it was developed in? Seriously, enough with the ragging on FIRST.

I've been reading this post and I have some observations.
You say that this is the first time FIRST has been able to test the equipment. Do you mean to tell me that FIRST couldn't set up the field, start the timers and throw balls into the goals using real people? Wow, what a concept.
Also, I think if FIRST wanted to try out the robot controls, in real time, they could probably find a few teams, in the area, that would be willing to loan them there robot. Than they could install the current RI and play the game. They wouldn't need the robots to score, just run around to test the systems. The aforementioned rel people could again throw balls into the goals.
