Re: A disturbing trend?

At the Wisconsin regional (23 rookies out of 52 teams), if I remember correctly, we had about 12 teams not passing by the end of Thursday, but most of these were missing BOMs and final weigh-ins. I did spend Friday morning watching one robot being reassembled after the team found out on Thursday that they were two inches too wide and had to completely disassemble their robot to cut off two inches of the chassis. In the end I think that they only missed their first qualification match.
