2016 global brainstorm

[Taylor]

Holy crap.
Let the guy have his idea.

This is why people are afraid to post things on chiefdelphi anymore. Instead of a conversation regarding cool features of his idea - which hurts NOBODY - it's people telling him his idea is stupid and he is stupid and his cat is ugly, and instead of growing and learning from the experience, he's having to defend his idea to bah-humbuggers.

There is such a thing as constructive criticism. This thread isn't it.



I think it's a fine idea. As Etienne said, it's a way for young, inexperienced, or undermentored teams to share ideas and strategies for the upcoming season. If two robots end up looking similar after this - if they both work, that's great. Better to have some sort of strategic design than another embarrassing BLT (no offense meant to Plowie). If you don't want to use this resource, it's not compulsory.

I'm signing up in your google form and I look forward to the discussions that happen in January. Good luck, and we'll see you at the competition.

Edit: I would sign up, but my computer blocks shortened URLs. Any way you could post the original?
