Go to Post [IRI] is like shaving the cream that has risen to the top of each championship division putting them into a blender and serving the concoction up to the FIRST community for dessert. - Koko Ed [more]

And yes, i am sure he wasnt on their team because he wasnt wearing their blue shirts. I dont know why, but unplugging someone's batteries is just disgusting. Anyone in here with me on this?
Wow that is worthy of serious action to be taken if it could be proven that someone did that and it was detrimental to the team. Hopefully you or someone else plugged the batteries back in though...that kind of thing deserves disqualification or something.

On another note, at Chesapeake during one of the quarterfinal matches, a team from the opposite alliance got its arm stuck in 1257's net and wound up mangling 1257's net and frame a bit as well as potentially keeping 1257 from being completely off of the platform. But like many other things that happen in a round, it happened and it was unintentional. I just hope teams keep in mind that it is a privilege to be part of FIRST and to have the opportunity to compete with such great people. Dean Kamen, Mike Wade, Jim Moore, and all of the other organizers, announcers, judges, and volunteers, not to mention the students...they put their heart and soul into FIRST and their effort doesn't deserve to be met with immaturity and unprofessional behavior. The point of this whole thing is to have fun, but to also build people and skills.
