 Teams need to make 'don't be a jerk' a part of their culture, and that culture needs to be explained to the parents who travel with you - Libby K [more] |

I'm with Rees. Most students think it's about winning a robot tournament. Most of us old folks think it's a chance to learn a lot about teamwork, program management, science, and engineering. If we all keep our "secrets" about our robots, the rest of us don't learn as much.
Frankly, I've only seen one or two things on Delphi that someone in our own team didn't suggest during brainstorming. The details of execution are a lot more interesting than your "secret" idea to win the game, and telling all of us on Delphi isn't going to hurt your chances of winning the tournament. Honest.
If you will all excuse me this primitive example, it's a lot like a 4-year-old girl who has lost her bikini top. She might be horrified, but there's really nothing to hide. (Should anyone find this analogy offensive, I'll remove it.)
Thanks for letting me borrow the soapbox for a minute.

If you haven't learned one thing the past 2+ years Pitbull just remember; To win a competition it requires a good drive team, good alliance communication and strategy, alot of luck, & a pretty good robot. Nowhere in there are secrets. We're not trying to beat you we're trying learn form you, and team up with you. 2 years ago we had a secret weapon when we went to Cleveland. So secret we never got picked. We learned from that went to J&J and won the regional.
