I just needed to know outside opinions.

I apologize for getting anyone upset.
You should never be made to feel like you are being hunted on CD. If veteran posters are part of the reason that you are feeling that way, then they should look at how they are posting and the attack mode that they are using.

It is also wise for veteran posters to remember and keep in mind, that the build season brings ideas and innovations to individual teams that are new to those teams, even though they may have already become common practices to other teams. The benefits of having the opportunity to build a second robot is an excellent example. It is always good to think about doing some searches in CD on the topic that is of interest. It can also be helpful to provide an example of a thread that is already in existence when making that suggestion.

Some discussions in CD can mirror the part of FRC that is cyclical and follows a structured pattern, creating opportunities to think. We are all on the path, but we aren't all in the same place at the same time in areas of team development. Some of us would do well to remember that and rein in our impatience and intolerance. If we don't, that zero tolerance can lead to fast/superfast burnout.

P.S. It's good to see that experience, humor, and wisdom are being shared in this thread now, replacing judgment.
