 Oh, you mean the refs. The only hand signal I've seen the judges use is the hi-five. - RoboMom [more] |

Re: Update 6
A few years ago FIRST banned Mobile Machine shops in the parking lots due to insurance and safety reasons. Has the insurance industry changed? The same risks to lawsuits still exists if someone were to get hurt. Why now is this not important?
If FIRST is trying to narrow the gap between teams that have resources this rule is definatly not doing it. The "Sharing" aspect of the rule will not work. While most if not all FIRST teams are willing to share there are limits to sharing. Who will staff the truck doing the work? Can teams use the machines themselves? Who will pay for supplies? What if there is a line up, and the team that owns the truck needs repairs, what order will they be done? Having a mobile machine shop favors the teams with big $$$$ as they can manufacture parts on site while others cannot given the new rules. Last edited by Mike Martus : 31-01-2004 at 19:31.
