This was about when I decided the thread had become dull and boring last night.
There are many ways to communicate one's thoughts and ideas. There are many ways to interpret what has been communicated. In deciding to ignore several pages in this thread, I based my decision on 3 separate frustrations linked together:
- the rapid-fire posts and exchanges over several pages
- the use of typos
- the shallow repetitive nature of the guesses
All of that would have better served its purpose in a private discussion.
Regarding thoughts of tethers and no autonomous... when thinking along these lines, are we keeping in mind, the meaning of the symbols and how they relate to the acronym of FIRST and what it stands for? When making guesses, are we thinking about the vision of the founders 20 years ago and how that vision has grown and developed over this span of time - moved along by the the program, the sponsors, and by the teams, themselves? The game will be rooted in 2011 and the advancements made over the twenty year span, while at the same time, it will have the potential to reflect back over the years in which the advancements have been made. It will not be going backward - it will bring the inspiration and recognition of science and technology - forward. You only have to look as far as FRC 118 to understand and appreciate the impact of this.
I'd take that to the bank.
