Re: YMTC: Hotel Work?
Quote:
From "The Robot, Rev C" "• At Events: Teams are allowed to repair, modify or upgrade their competition robots while participating in a FRC event. They may do so only during the period starting with the opening of the Pit area on Thursday and ending at 4:00PM on Saturday. Work may be done on-site in the Pit or at any facility made available to all teams at the event, e.g., in a team’s repair trailer or a local team’s shop offered to all teams to use." I believe the way it is stated is that work on the robot be only at competitions and as you have noted, the pits are only open for specific hours. Many of the regionals announce that all work must stop on the robot in "fifteen minutes" counting down to zero. The machine shop also stops at these times, therefore if the pits are closed and the machine shop is closed, work must stop. |

Also, my profs always told me that part of engineering thinking is not artificially constricting yourself with assumptions that arent necessary. Don't add things to the problem that aren't there. Last edited by Kevin Sevcik : 29-12-2004 at 09:05. |

Bluateam captain, Joey Blue, when meeting with Judges Bill Doesntknowalltherules and Susan Sucessfulbusinesswoman, says, "Well, Judges, we showed up with a poorly functioning right drive train, but after some long hours in the hotel last night, we were able to get it working really well!" Judges Bill and Susan, duly impressed by Bluateam's extraordinary effort, recommend them for the special judges award for "Going the Extra Mile". This said, I have to admit that I don't know what exactly goes on behind closed doors in those smoke-filled judge's meetings. Perhaps they are savvy individuals who can see through the smokescreens of well-intentioned youths. Perhaps they're guided by representatives from FIRST who aren't so overworked simply trying to keep the competition going on schedule that they have the time and information to point out this type of violation.

Rule Explicitly Stated
FYI, FIRST added two sentences to the rules this year that clearly addresses this.
