Stop complaining

[nuggetsyl]

All i read last year was how nobody like first because there no contact. Now this year all i am hearing is that it is unfair how agressive it is. Talk about damed if you do and damed if you don't. Me i like the way first is being played this year and feel if teams would try to build a robot to do one thing good instead of trying to do everything, robots would not be falling apart on the feild due to contact. Haveing a robot that can do 15 thing but have 10,000 holes in it is not smart, and is risky. If you want to take a chance do it, but you know the rules so build with that in mind.

I agree throughly with nugget, we wanted the contact and we got it back. However, since now teams are used to do millions of things there complaining about being attacked by Brian Cox(Patriots Linebacker ) style robots who "do not present gracious professionalism. AKA when someone says that they are saying they can not deal with someone grabbing their robot. The only advice I can give to those teams complaining is DEAL with the cards that have been given because the rules aren't going to be changed now.

Hey,
remember something when you post - everyone has a right to post their opinions, thoughts, concerns, ideas, or whatever it is they want to (as long as it meets our very minimal standards)
This is what the board is for, so please do not tell others what you'd like them to do, say or write!
Some people may use this as a way to blow off steam, when they don't like something related to the competition - and that's okay.
In this case, as well as many others listed on the many boards we have up - debate CAN be a healthy, and helpful way to communicate (if it's handled with gracious professionalism)
Let's let the folks have an outlet for their ideas and that even includes complaints. Thanks, so much for your understanding
