in the pits

[Josh Fritsch]

I would think that a any team could be building more important things than a cart...Any cart that could carry around a person would be much too large. Most regionals are held in a stadium or in a high school or something to that effect. The path from the pits to the field is not usually more than a standard size hallway. Teams will be coming back and forth and it will be very congested. There is no way that you could build a cart that big and not have some people start to become very annoyed with you very fast. As far as the green plates? Not only is it against the rules but against the spirit of FIRST. Are you intentionally trying to ruin the game for people who want to play? Yes it is legal to paint your robot what ever color you want, but intentionally trying to screw up other robots is a completely different story. And it was said earlier..that even if "your English teacher isn't strict"..thats no excuse for not hitting the spell check button before you hit submit. I could hardly understand one of your earlier posts. So..lets recap.

Blimp: NO, I highly doubt that FIRST would allow this
Mini Pit Bot: NO, the pits are too congested enough without another robot running around, plus the radio issues
Green Panels: YES, it is legal...but is it in the spirit of FIRST, gracious professionalism?
Powered Cart: YES, it is legal but an obnoxious or overly large cart is not necessary

Gloating about 1st place at silicon vally? come now. I dont think that is very appropriate. Yay you did good...want a cookie?
