Re: Ungracious and unprofessional...

Robots will flip...this is just part of the game. The real question is: "Was the opponent solely interested in flipping others?" Simply building a robot with a wedge and gunning for high robots means yes. If you try to block others and flip them as a result, then its just part of the game.

Its no fun being flipped, but its all part of the challenge. Our team had major problems with this the Sunday before ship, but we did a minor redesign of some systems and came out a lot better. Flipping is a real world challenge--even a major one on the Mars Exploration Rover! Is NASA screaming about it?
