Of course it's a real robot, but it wasn't a competition robot. If it had been broken by the wrapping, nothing would have come of it except taking it back to the shop on Monday and fixing it. If messing with a competition robot breaks it, it could put the team out of the game.

I was on the field so I didn't get the full effect of the roving barrel. I do remember thinking once or twice, "There's that horn again, it's kinda annoying." If it had been going off a lot in the pit area and commons, "kinda" would have escalated to "extremely".

It's a cute idea that has its uses. Sounds like some people thought it was taken too far.
