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?

Due to a shipping mix up their robot did not arrive from their last comp till Saturday. Making this a One-Day (Friday) Wonder.
EDIT: They actually got their real bot on Friday but it wasn't competition ready till sat
