Re: Please stop complaining...

Most of us were saying "this randomizer sucks" long before we actually competed.

When a team loses due to the dynamics of the game, they should not complain. When teams lose because of the failures of the game design, we should complain.

An excellent example: Banebot transmissions. I'm not sure if your team used them this year, but many teams did. Had teams not discussed the problem, there would be many, many teams with broken robots. And that wouldn't be very inspiring, eh?

If a soccer tourney hires a particular ref to oversee all games, and he happens to be colorblind and make terrible decisions, causing all blue shirted teams to lose, should you simply say "he tried his best, guess we should go home"? Nope, you figure out the problem and fix it.

I do not support negative criticism. But constructive criticism is necessary to ensure fairness to all teams.
