Wow.

Last time I checked, a big part of being a team is having all the team members take responsibility for the entire team. If a team member isn't pulling their weight, for whatever reason, then it is the responisibility of the entire team to pick up the slack and continue on. Successful teams - in almost any aspect of life (i.e. not just robotics) - don't make excuses and assign blame when something goes wrong. They improvise. They adapt. They overcome. They correct the problem and move on.

If something on your robot isn't working, then why don't you take the responsibility to fix it? Isn't that better than displaying such an amazing lack of respect for the engineers that support your team? Isn't that what being a TEAM is all about?
