Re: Official FIRST Stronghold Teaser!
First of all - NO WATER as in actual H2O
(I am not sure if everyone yelling 'water game' is being sarcastic or not. I hope so, but just in case):
1: Most venues don't like water spilled on nice expensive wood basketball courts. FIRST doesn't like to pay damage expenses or alienate the venue.
2: Many robots experience electrical problems when splashed with water, this is a safety issue.
3: Wet carpet is hard to transport.
A false 'moat' filled with McDonald's Playland balls or other simulated 'water' hazard is possible.
Before spinning your wheels endlessly - how well have past hints accurately predicted the game? In about 10 weeks we will all know. I wouldn't be spending a lot of time boning up on "Game of Thrones" or "Lord of the Rings" to prepare.

I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. - petek [more]
