 When more STEM teams exist outside schools than in them, that will be one indication that a true cultural change has occurred. - gblake [more] |

Championship - No Show Robots or Broke/Malfunctioning Ones
In the Curie Division we were paired twice with robots that did not show up for the match. Also, a non working robot was in an alliance with us. In all 3 instances our alliance lost. Our kids put in over 2,400 hours of work after school to build our "bot". I advocate using a substitute "bot" for these kind of matches. Our hard working kids deserve a fair chance in a match without being penalized by a situation beyond their control. It is nearly impossible to win a 2 vs 3 match which is fustrating to a team. A similar situation also occured at the Florida Regional which cost us two matches. Why aren't there penalties for being a no show?
