Are The Penalties Too High?

[Ben Lauer]

The penalties are excellent. When you were presented with the game, you were given rules. And it was your task to design and build a robot that could complete the task and play the game. You knew what penalties would be given for, and you cannot expect them to be lenient because they are hard to follow. You have to design a robot and control system that can adapt to change and be able to stay out of trouble. If your team keeps breaking rules and receives penalties then it is not because the rules are hard to follow, it is because your design was not developed to enough to easily follow them.
