I respectfully disagree, I believe that is exactly what is needed here. I think that people need to see that sometimes things that aren't expected happen.

I have seen that same argument that things don't have to be designed for the worst case scenario on our robot. Why do the construction properly the first time when you can just fix it in competition. Why over design something the first time when you can just make it work temporarily. It's things like that that make a huge difference.
