Re: MY COMPLAINTS

Ricksta121:

It doesn't help your point to have the following in your sig.

"Our first match at BAE; Announcer: "And there goes 138, that was brutal......a brutal flip"

11 Brutal Flips and counting"

If you're going to be proud of your flips, then you're opening yourself and your team up to either being disqualified or not allowed to participate until you change your robot so that it doesn't flip others so easily. As I'm sure you remember, Wildstang had those 2 wedges on their robot, but while competing they tried to do everything possible not to flip other robots when they drove up their ramps (even though they could lift the ramps, or just move forward a little and flip their opponent). They also never bragged about having x numbers of "Brutal Flips." It doesn't matter to observers (and referees, being people who watch mathes, count as observers) that you tried to help them back up in this instance, because people have seen your robot's actions and your (Ricksta121) unprofessional bragging about flipping other robots. If you hadn't been so publicly proud of your flips, and so vociferously complained about refereeing as pertains to your robot you wouldn't have had so many problems. Really quickly let me add that if my robot had been flipped by a team known for flipping robots I would have complained to the referees, and then visited your pit to have a quick chat. I wouldn't have been as animated as the person you described in your post, though. I would have remained professional. You've made a name for yourself and your 2003 robot, you only have yourself to blame. Learn from this and don't repeat these mistakes next year.
