Well maybe you're just waaaaay smarter than me
BTW: I do read the Q/A.
- The competition manual should be able to make it's case without relying on the Q/A. I have found that 99% of questions are easily answered by reading the manual; for instance, this
thread. I found Figure 8-2 confusing and I don't think it was a good way to show the 4 corner examples.
- Fortunately or maybe unfortunately, many teams don't have to work as hard to come up with the funds for registration. I have seen that this works in ways that wasn't intended. I have actually encountered these: "Why do I have to read the rules? It will be okay if we ship a couple days late. Why doesn't someone from FIRST come and mentor us?"
After all of this is said and done, think about how much more you all will know about the lovely state of Montana and other things not related to robotics. :) - Madison [more]
