Go to Post Unfortunately our team missed out on a great opportunity to "learn from the pros" because we did student-centric things like insisting on having a student field coach. - Tom Bottiglieri [more]

My thoughts on the GDC making that decision were PRETTY ambivalent....

My fun part of my brain said:

"YESS, humans can SCORE, more points for US!!!!"

My moral part of my brain said:

"Wouldn't this be degrading the amazing spirit and intention of FIRST, where people could build ROBOTS to do people's work, thus learning a technology and engineering mentality students can use in the future to assist the human race?"

I know it is very exciting to win, but what would teams learn if people in the future would have to create robots that would require human assistance?

Oh, wait, I might have just made another point there....
