A shout to all the teams with no engineers and fundings!!!! Rambots=Ninnies with powertool!!! Oh btw mike, you are also banned from going near the robot after you got Dew over the robot.

Jeff W.

: lets hear it for teams with no engineers and no sponcors
: go ninnies with powertools
: ninny mike, who is usually banned from using the powertools

: : : #1 publish the match schedule at least an hour before
: : : the match.

: : : Our driver coaches at UTC said most times they had to
: : : tell the robot drivers what we were doing as the teams
: : : were being anounced by Woodie. Often they would not
: : : complete telling the drivers what they would be doing
: : : before the match was started. "Don't worry, I will
: : : talk you through it" became an extremely common phrase
: : : on stage just as the match began.

: : : Little is gained by not giving teams more time to work
: : : out a strategy and much is lost.

: : I like #1. I think it adds to the game. If your drivers dont know the strategy, (ie, the coaches have to explain it), have the drivers come up with the strategy. The students can learn the scoring matrices as well as anyone else and I think that since this is supposed to be a high school competition the students should be doing as much as possible. I dont think any teachers, engineers etc should be allowed to be coaches on the field at all. This is a high school students competition, not a competition of which company can afford to donate the most engineering time and money.

: : The ramblings from a student on a team with no engineers, and little funding.

: : Bill
: : Team #70
