A mentor perspective on what happened in FIRST Israel

[Yoel2630]

Dear RandomStyuff,
I haven't read the whole post but from what I got to I see that you are mixing things.
Yaron pointed out things from his point of view, so don't judge him too harshly. Inspections were horrible, you may have not experienced it because you didn't pass through pits or that you don't know the rules. The practice field was small, and the fact that it wasn't real is even more frustrating.
I am sure Yaron is aware of the fact that you guys stayed up all night (I helped the first night). And he is not blaming you for helping, but blaming FIRST for not getting proper help. Or being stubborn in using the same methods again and again with slight adjustments.
And before you say they did bring experts let me say, it was too late.
The problem should have been found and fixed by the first day. And any other problems by noon the next day.
Yaron is right in my opinion when he said that every robot should be checked because you yourself didn't know what the specific problem was, as I understand these comm problems can come from bad code to bad routers to magnetic disorders, which some robots might have due to bad inspections(I know ours was checked for grounding, but that was ours) and problems such as bandwidth load. So by not eliminating the problems one by one, we can only guess what the bigger problem was. I know there wasn't time, but tough and wise decisions should be made, and not rash and unfair ones.
I am sure that with so many people activated the right way we could have achieved much better results.
