More than anything this just killed team moral.

Yes. We made a lot of design trade offs to support floor pickup. BIG ones. Now, unless we have a 'pray and spray' teammate, we're going to be at a disadvantage having to traverse the field to get discs.
We sacrificed a high climb mechanism based on the math of a floor pickup with readily available discs, and what we could do in 30 seconds.
I'm pretty angry about this.
That's right 10 years and this is the first time ever that the school wanted anything to do with the FIRST team. - RoteAugen [more]
