Doctor the drill, or doctor your hand. Easy choice. Let's all make the right one. |

Now there is something I am going to suggest to my team...."testing before ship (bag)"....on second thought, maybe I'll just ref! |

I would not want the task of devising a system that 50,000 very smart people try to outwit. |

Remind me again why anyone, my team included, is stupid enough to keep going to week 1 events? |

While in the Navy, we had an apparent leak in one of our systems and it took me 7 months to track it down. Just because you haven't found it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. |

it's not the bot that makes the team great, it's the team that makes the bot great. |

I suspect the GDC is enjoying watching teams wrap their heads around this ranking algorithm.... and is probably a bit surprised that it has taken teams so long to clue in to the options this ranking system presents to them. |

This system sucks more than our ball possession system. |

Personally, I'm really not jealous of any good team in FIRST. I'm happy for them, and take a page out of their books to see how we can better impact our students in the future. |

So, you're saying there's a correlation between hard work and success? Who woulda thunk it?! |

I could say that the decline in the population of pirates is responsible for global warming, the statistics correlate, but its obvious there's no causation there. |

What about "I h8 Autonomous Mode" (for the programmers who actually have to make the robots work)? |

The Tesla came in the blue tote. This is why you should always inventory your KOP before the replacement window closes! :p |

We can either sit around and complain about what could have been, or we can focus on the upside of what we have and move on. |

The question was asked. The GDC gave their ruling. If you don't like it then maybe you can run your own tournament and let people ignore your rulings. |

321 didn't get picked up today because the front desk of the high school wouldn't let him in! Thank goodness the FedEx driver was nice enough to come back and get it for us! |

This is far more then any little school extracurricular, this is a FIRST Robotics Team. |

A robot that does 60% of the tasks 100% of the time is better than a robot that does 100% of the tasks 60% of the time. |

That is definitely a question for the GDC. My guess would be no (but I am frequently wrong). |

Note to self for next year, apply physics rather than "well, this SEEMS like it would work." |

Just because its a robotics competition does not mean everybody is a big dork. |

Now I'm having visions of thousands of balloons and a grumpy old man. Oh, and a talking dog. No talking dogs on the field. Grumpy old men are ok - sometimes. |

Short answer, the GDC has ruled it legal explicitly through Q&A, implicitly through Q&A, and implicitly through the Manual. |

The mediocre do the minimum, then exclaim how easy it is.
The exceptional never stop to gloat... they're too busy figuring out new ways to make it even better... |
