Re: About being overweight and exceeding your size requirements – the need for reinsp

I was present at Detroit when this happened. There was no battery on the robot.
I would also like to commend Ron on the way it was handled. He used the only options available at the time to full effect. The problem is that there are no rules about being over weight except that you must meet weight to compete. The team did that before their first elim match. Ron had no other option but to allow them to compete. He did however give a great speech to the team captain and I was sure that they would not compete. Boy I was surprised.

I guess the whole issue is based on GP and what it means to each team and member.There will be many more times that things like this will come up. We need to use this as a reminder that not everyone has bought into this mind set and that we need to lead by example to allow others to learn. We must always follow the rules and make sure that we are accountable to every other FIRST team. We can still change this world one step at a time. Let's start here by looking back at ourselves and see what we can do rather than condemning a team that has slipped a bit.
