: Ken,

: Based on what I know of you and what I can guess, your heart is closer to the Spirit of FIRST than most.

: You have no need to publicly denounce yourself real or imagined thought crimes ;-)

: Keep up the good work.

: You are a very positive force for FIRST, generally, and on these Forums, in particular.

: I, for one, salute you.

: Joe J.



last year, i recall in our regional that one of the veteran teams gave us some advice....

they said that after inspection, we should soup up our robot to get it to work cuz they dont check it anymore.

actually their words were: &quot;You know, after inspection they dont check your robot anymore.... but we're not telling you what you should do.. ::wink::. A $5000 robot is too expensive to worry about rules.

We laughed and felt sorry for them considering we were all into gracious professionalism. Eh, honesty works, but it's unfortunate that some teams choose to cheat....and to know that they may have won because of an unfair advantage.

i think that robots that win should be REINSPECTED onsite after they compete and make sure teams did not soup up their robots....my two cents.

&quot;Cheating is giving up.&quot;
