Team 4, been around since probably very early in FIRST, has to build a robot in one day? Granted, I do not know the logistics of it so I will not make this into an arguement. However, seems to me that there is always a team every year that has nothing on thursday, and somehow creates a robot in one day. Maybe I'm just crazy, but is this a trend we will continue to see in FIRST? I can understand a rookie team, that has no resources, no tools or anything, and shows up with their control system and some batteries; to their rescue comes the aid of other teams. But for teams that have the resources to build a robot, and do not, is IMHO being unprepared. Again, I do not know the reasoning behind team 4 or anybody else, and i do not mean to point a finger at team 4, just in general....why?
