Angry Come on rick!

Hey rick, I know there were problems with taking off the wedge, which is understood, but really, how can you criticize the refs? there are VOLUNTEERING!! o, to other teams, i know rick brags way too much about all our team's flips, but we built our robot to win, not be "friendly". if everyone built "friendly" robots this competition would be more boring than english class. sometimes the drivers of our team (me, rick sometimes) are a little agressive. In BAE i was warned about going after other robots, so in future matches, i waited for the other teams to come to us. if they want to get on the ramp, they should avoid the wedge (which, i might add, is not powered in any way, and can't actually lift up) and drive around us, if they can't and don't want to get damaged, stay away from us and the ramp when were on it. like rick said, it's designed to elimate a surface for teams to push, and so far it's a simple solution to allow us to control the wedge. much more simple, and less likely to break than complicated suction devices, and arms. if other teams' have effective ramp control methods, than congrats, as for us, the ramp is our simple solution to a problem. i think thats what engineering is all about; finding the most simple/ effective solution to a complex problem
