my take

Some replies to previous posts:

Leo M - VERY well said. Every year there are many moments when most of us need to step back and think of the very things you spoke about.

Joe J - I agree about the time to work on parts rule. I think it will change, but even if not, I have one slightly different take: I really don't think the interaction will be quite at brutal as some fear. I don't know of many teams designing robots to pick up others, and I also agree that any team who goes out of their way to viciously handle another (with the obvious probability of damage) will get no respect from the FIRST community, making it not worth it - they can go join the WWF of wedges.

Chris H - good idea about the Till Tuesday work on parts (if you thought of a funny 80's reference there, you are too old to control a robot ). I doubt they can institute that this year, but if they don't, be sure to bring it up at the team forum for next year.

Paul C - well said, and true, as FIRST has shown in other instances this year, if the vast majority of teams can bring a bad situation to light, they may try to fix/change it. That could still happen here.

Leo M - again, VERY WELL SAID. and again, we all need to think of what Leo said - especially in the stress of the 6 weeks.

Good luck to all - have a great day!
