Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Practice Match Poll

I'm all for option 3 but I'd like to throw something out there regarding the whole inspection for extra practice bit...


Has anyone considered that teams having problems with their robots might actually need more practice time to help them work out the bugs than a team who's robot is working perfectly?

I know there have been plenty of times for my team where it would have been nice to have a few more practice rounds to identify and fix problems, not just to let the drivers practice. I'm not saying we should prevent the teams that are ready to practice more, but I don't think we should exclude teams that can't pass inspection either.


Just a thought.




Of course, you still have the inspection pile up at the end of the day... maybe we aught to give out cookies to the teams that get inspected the earliest or something
