We were pared numerous times with rookie teams at MWR. Some didn't know rules, others didn't have bumpers, and a few had robots that had to rebuilt. We spent a lot of our time helping trying to help them out.
I'm all for helping teams out, but I think its unfair to shove responsibilities on to another team especially with this year's game and all the complications that come with it.
Well the reality is this: You can either help them learn the game or watch them play the role as an anchor and drag teams down to the bottom of the standings with them.
