Re: Team 548 Einstein Statement

It's the "1000 monkeys with 1000 typewriters" postulate at work, and I think it would be wise of FIRST to challenge all teams to try and find these exploits and notify FIRST as they appear. Crowd-source the troubleshooting of these systems, and allow teams to have active feedback throughout the season. It would solve a lot of problems. And I agree with the idea that FIRST should have some kind of pre-written response to let teams know that emails are at least going through.
That's a great idea in theory. In practice, however, FIRST would be completely overwhelmed with nonsense results from uncontrolled situations that bear little or no relevance to a competition field setup.

Simply put: the problem with the "1,000 monkeys with 1,000 typewriters" postulate in reality is filtering out the 99%+ gibberish content they've created.
