So, if you don't want your students getting help here, you will have to tell them not to ask . Otherwise there are many passionate people in the forum who can't resist helping. They are just great like that.

By the way, very nice homework assignment. Would you mind sharing to the rest of use what sort of similar homework assignment you give out to your students? Also, do you give out any tests related to this competition?

You can help....just not openly...besides the idea is to get them to a...register (so 180 ends up with the most members registered)....b....examine this forum. It was HW and we were told to do it ourselves. It was a simple reminder directed at our teamates because in prior to competition they'll be tested on the game and in December tested on team history, tools, etc... we cannot take these tests for them. This of course is done individually. So this may not be in the spirit of the FIRST robotics competition....but due to the roster of roughly 96 people we cannot simply keep everybody on board or both safety and financial reasons. Also these tests, HW, and participation are factors of whether you are cut from the roster or not. Unfortunately we have to do all this this year. It is sad that people want to participate in FIRST but we can't let them for various reasons.

I wasn't saying people were complaining just people were not to sure what to do exactly. All I provided was a little guidance if it helped anyone that's good, if not oh well.
