Ethics Q: Would such a move be called good strategy or ungracious play?
If ever teams were required to demonstrate a lack of functionality, who is to decide just how functional robot in question should be?
If this was in effect last year, there is no way I wouldn't have tried something. It is smart play, and it is in the rules as fair. We had a half functioning robot, and by all means we would have easily taken them out. And by chance, maybe that first alliance captain would have been "broke" as well, and we could've gotten some other fantastic alliance partner.

It might not be ethical, but it is fair.

If you do say something that isn't just for fun or praising something, which hopefully you do, just be prepared to back up what you said.

Remember: GP is Gracious Professionalism, not Glorifiying Plesantries. Saying something negative does not mean you are evil. It could help someone out a lot.

Anything that I post is an opinion from my own mind. Some may agree with it, others may not. However do not negatively associate anyone else, including any team I work with, with my opinion.
