At GLR this year a certain team in the finals called out the whole other alliance and made them all recheck there speeds or there shooter. All of these teams passed and went on to win the regional, could some of these decisions that people make be guided towards being a bad sport. This sportt is all about being a gracious proffesional and having good sportsmanship.

I remember back to my freshmen year, 3 years ago the game was Stack Attack. We had a lartge sweeper arm that we could use to knock down the whole stack. When we would take our sweeper off for finals matches we would add weight but always make sure we didnt go over because we ha pre-made weights that just had to be bolt on. Do you think this is wrong? We have yet done it since then but would teams be offended by this or look down on teams that did do this?

At the end of saturday at GLR we made some modifications to our robot making sure we cut off pieces if we added pieces. Without weighing our robot we went to Midwest and weighed in we were almost 13 pounds overweight. Without thinking we left the battery on our bot. When we took it off we were back down to that nice and light 119.6lbs. Could that team that was 13lbs overweight in all weigh-ins, have weighed ther bot with battery. If so it was an honest mistake to a veteran team that was thinking back to a few years ago.
