You Make The Call (YMTC) is a series of situations where you are the official and make the call. Please reference specific rules when applicable. The results of YMTC are not official and are for educational purposes only.
Bluateam has built two of the most awesome tetra-handling robots ever seen by man. One is Bluabot and is shipped to the Magnolia Regional; the other is a very similar robot to Bluabot. Two days before the Magnolia Regional, Bluateam comes together and practices with their Bluabot-look-alike. The Bluateam drivers just practice picking up tetras with no modifications to the robot or code. Because of Bluateam's great planning that resulted in them packing all needed tools in their crate, Bluateam just walks the 4 miles to the Magnolia Regional singing and clapping their hands.
Based on the
2005 Robot Rules, YOU MAKE THE CALL!

<R14> Prior to the competitions: After the close of the “FIX-IT WINDOW” and prior to the competition, the team must put down their tools, cease fabrication of robot parts, and cease all software development. Take this opportunity to rest, recover from the build season, and relax. Teams may scout other teams, gather and exchange information, develop game-playing strategies, collect raw materials, prepare tool kits, plan how to make repairs, etc. in preparation for the upcoming competitions. But no construction or fabrication is allowed.
