In response to "(basically double, from what I heard. But it can resurface the ice for 1/12th the cost, when it works, and with zero emissions.) -- nm" by Beryllium

It's been sitting there with its flaps open and "guys" standing there scratching their heads.

Though Zamboni is constantly working on updating their tech and making the resurfacer a better cleaner product.

at least they aren't scratching ... other things :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 16, 17:34
I feel like you're being so negative here. they *tried* to be green. it was maybe not the best call. but they tried. - sluttella Feb 16, 16:45 14

  - I think having contingency plans in place was called for, but the lack thereof is the only real error here. -- nm - sluttella Feb 16, 17:00 9
    - I think it would take them less than six hours to get a zamboni on site if they really wanted to - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:00 7
      - well of course not. but when the stakes are this big, you have a plan B. like there's not a zamboni or two in - sluttella Feb 16, 17:04 2
        
        they needed a Plan C. I think they might just have been hoping they wouldn't need to resort to it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:09 1

      - they're getting one. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:03 3
        
        Yes, it's definitely a bit of a screwup. Add it to the list. - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:08 2
        
        Swiss timing was off? -- nm - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:10 1
        
        Yes. An official IBU representative screwed up the order in which some competitors left the gate, and also when (a handful of failures) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:10
    - Fair enough. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 17:00
  - actually, I think the road to hell might be paved with this saying. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 16:57
  - or the ice track, in this case -- nm - poochinski Feb 16, 16:56
- No, not being negative. They tried and I think it was two that broke down. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 16:50
