Re: Teams missing matches, something must be done
This has always been a part of the FIRST experience.
We expect that this will happen and send out people to check-in with upcoming partners to see if they need help getting ready for the match. (Even if they are veterans with a machine that is better than ours) Sometimes they might need a kit part that you have as a spare or a tool to help make a repair.
In the past we have also sent programmers to all of our Rookie partners to ensure that they have a working autonomous mode. Communicate with your partners often before the match and you will have fewer surprises.
But even with this approach you will be the victim on occasion. Its just another part of the challenge. (IMHO)
Best of luck with the remainder of the regular season.

There is something completely respectful and amazing to see FIRST teams who have members go through 4 years of the program without winning a single competition or even a single award. Those are the teams that are looked at by others and respected for what they do. - fuzzwaz [more]
