Re: Lessons Learned - The Negative

- G14... i agree that im not the biggest fan of it. I know it was in good intentions, but if the real time scoring is going to be off? How can a team be penalized? One match the ending score was 55-32 us. Then after everythig is re scored, it was 122-32. We got a tripple G14....

- I was working the front gate at championships on wednesday night. It really did tick me off when mentors, not students, are yelling at me because we wouldnt let them take 8 people in. or take multiple trips. This has been the way for a LONG TIME. The way i see it, FIRST could easily say "just unload thursday" Remember, most volunteers there wednesday have been working tuesday 7am-11pm and wednesday starting at 7am. READ THE RULES

- about the wire colors... hate to be crude, but you gotta read the rules or suck it up. sorry. "i didn't have time isn't an excuse to me...

- Practice field was not run properly. Schedualing team for 10-10:10 then 10:10-10:20 does not work. You gotta leave a gap for unload and load. Also seemed to me the volunteers running the fields had no idea what they where doing. Example, letting 3 robots run with over 5 people on the field. I watched 2 kids get hit too. People running the field didn't seem to care.....
(i know...first i defend volunteers, then i bash em)

- I agree that awards such as spirit, animation, ect. can go friday. That way, chairmans, rookie all-star, EI, and competition stuff cna be done saturday, with time ti spare. O.....speeches should be cut down....
