I think what Colleen was trying to say was that a robot breaking down before
a match is in the competition... What I think is that building a robot
to overcome a task, what is the task? The task is besides the floppies and
puck, it is competing against 1 or 2 other teams, being able to take your
licks and still run, compete, and come out on top. If your robot can not
take a lick or two or something breaks well it is fate trying to say 'not
this year' really...
I am not trying to make people angry, but we have had our problems in years
past and maybe that is why we try every year to protect from everything
that could possibly happen, but you can't! Luck eventually pulls the plug
sort of speak on your hopes and dreams. That is the competition in the real
essence, everyone can't win, some will be out matched, others will break
down, but somebody has to or we would never have a 'champion'!
That is all! Your take on the subject is looked forward to!!!
