when we went out in a match.. i told our partners flat out what we could and couldn't do, and in legitimate times... i found that more often than not, other coaches were telling, less lies, but more what they 'wished' their robot could do. Fact is, yeah you sometimes try to build something into your robot and it doesn't work.. and you have to admit to it...

as I told my team and will always say... the best strength you can have, for strategy and controlling, is knowing your own weakness and being willing to admit them...

So I had this problem a lot this weekend.. where do you draw the line? You've seen people do something, you have them do it.. the don't... You've seen people try.. but no one else in the match can do it.. do you let them? It's a hard decision to make.. and it's gotta be agreed upon fully by 4 teams who all wanna either do it all or just get it done...
