On April fools day, Yes. As a public figure he's going to get this.

FIRSTers are human. I doubt the above is 100% true (but I wish it were).

and I've seen teams cheer for 469 when they are scoring 26-1 matches. A practical joke is just that, get over it.

and I will be happy when they win Einstien. A joke is not destructive play and intentional tipping. I've never talked about destructive play nor tipping in this thread. Please refrain from putting words into my posts and strawman arguments, they are counterproductive and just plain wrong (IE: go back and reread my post).

469 has had thick skin, and for that I applaud them. It's other people (like your posts) that I telling to get thicker skin. As I said before, 469 is one of the most domanant robots I've seen in the last few years, people will try and figure a way to beat them ... someone will eventually win, but not this year.
