Re: Team Update #18
After seeing the brilliance of Wildstang, et al, in this strategy, we considered this if we had a non functional robot on our alliance during eliminations, as to give them more time to fix it between matches before just automatically pulling up a replacement bot. We thought that since something was seen in that robot, mid as well make it score points and buy time for them to solve the problem.

I do understand the safety concern, but if the rule was that they had to be e-stopped, it would be better then this outcome.

I really believe this has been a blunderous year for FIRST (then again who doesn't), yes they went a few steps forward as far as scoring system and other parts, but went twice as many back with random seeding, banebots, Update 16, batteries (it seems people have forgotten about this due to everything else, and rightly so), and now this. I hope this streak can turn around now for FIRST (or at least end).
