Cheesecake robot. How far is too far?

[Chief Hedgehog]

Wow - there is a large gray area of cheesecaking that would be crossed. It is one thing to help a team create new manipulators so that the team competes at a higher level...

As for building an entirely new robot for a team that already worked for six weeks on their own - yes, that is crossing a line.

However, there was a point at Lake Superior where a few teams got together in case a rookie team did not have one ready to go. Luckily for all involved - the rookie team showed up with a robot that was nearly ready to go. That being stated, the robot DID need some major work - and kudos to FRC 93 and FRC 1816 the team was ready to go at the end of the day on Thursday.
