Re: 2010 Lesson Learned: The Negative

Dean's List. I agree with everyone about Dean's List. Dean couldn't possibly wonder why he didn't receive as many submissions as he had expected if he announced his idea a week before the deadline was set for the nominations.

Safety Award. It's quite hard to try and explain to pit scouters what exactly your robot does when every other minute you hear, "ROBOT COMING THROUGH!" yes, that call is helpful if there are people clearly in the way, but a simple "excuse me, robot coming through!" would suffice if someone was in the way. So the Safety Award should be judged differently in my opinion, as certain behaviors are certainly not safe.

The DOGMA System. Oh my oh my, this caused such a panic when one of our balls hadn't been returned in our second match in the finals at the New Jersey Regional. We received something like 72 penalty points for not returning a ball to the field, when it had just fallen off the ball return before passing through the photogate. That definitely jeopardized our chances of winning, as each alliance had won one match each, but we managed to be more careful in the third and final match

Camera Operators. I noticed there were a lot of zoom shots and close-ups, but I prefer a nice view of the entire field rather than seeing the focus on one or two robots at a time.
