We are given design specifications (rule book) at the beginning of the season to build a robot. We built the robot that we thought would best meet those specifications. 469 built one that used very little effort to play the game.

Look back to 2002 with Team Hammond, they built a dominate robot, cruised through championships but even then, there were teams that figured them out.

Instead of spending so much time on Chief trying to convincing a bunch of people that can't be convinced that they're wrong. Spend it toward something positive, such as developing your robot further or coming up with strategies to defeat theirs.
