What about the high-capability, high-scoring robots that were turned into "a slug of a do nothing robot" when they were simply asked to crossed the field and sit or just pull the ramp down, etc?
Don't you think there are two sides to the story? I have a feeling you never felt this first hand considering your robots performace. I also have a feeling your circumstance was in the vast minority. Dean and Woodie are always sensitive to rookies but I think this competition was less exciting and inspiring for those whose very prized robots were turned into "do nothing robots" for the sake of the greater good.
This is all heresay since I didn't have a hand in this year's competition, but I think it's good heresay.
