Re: Time-Outs, Give it or keep it?
I remember talking with you about this, and <T19> aside (which didn't apply in this situation anyways) I still feel the right decision would've been to use the time out. As soon as we heard about what was going on with 27's bot, myself and our operator went over to see if there was anything we could do to help. They had a beautiful machine and really deserved to see it functioning properly; on the other side of the field, winning by 30 points (which they kind of did) due to a 2v3 situation really is not as.. inspiring.

However, like Gary said, I don't see a fault in making either decision (for the reasons given by CountTo19).
