owned?
i was only expressing my frustration at the fact that they were beating the crap out of something that i'd spent several grueling days working on, even though it's perfectly legal and i'm just grumpy
they make bumpers for a reason, it's easy to put them on and it makes a robot much less likely to take a chunk off someone elses hard work. if winning isn't everything, then deliberately trying to disable someone's robot isn't the way to go.
and i
definitely wasn't saying that this was 414's strategy at all. i was over in their pit many times, and i saw that they had definitely planned on scoring ringers ... as you say i have no idea what they were planning on doing before the competition or how much they got out of it. i was just saying that if someone had a strategy like that (purely defensive, potentially damaging robot. ive heard stories.) i consider that to be at the very least inconsiderate of other teams.
again, just my opinion ...
