Re: Predictions Week 2: Scaling Up the Competition
A lot of teams from the AZN regional had rocker bogie drive trains, including our own team Plasma Robotics.
It was a really interesting regional and one of the more exciting ones I have been actually a part of. |

You have the right to advocate for your team and your region as you see fit, as do I. I have the right to provide some obviously needed perspective when myself and a significant number of people think you're neck deep in your own kool-aid, as you have the right to belabor your point over and over and over in hopes that what you obviously perceive to be a earth-shattering injustice be corrected. That doesn't mean either of us come out of that smelling like roses. No one has any lack of respect for 254, 1678, 1323, 701, 1671, some good rookie and second year teams, etc. But come on, it's probably not getting any more interesting in Texas this year. It's probably not getting any more interesting in Toronto this year. GKC and AZN each are part of an underrepresented part of FIRST. The ever pervasive and eternally strange fanboyism over the traditional and rising powerhouses is not being affected by Looking Forward. It's at best a service to shifting regions and places to watch interesting storylines, at worst the jerkfest that you seem to crave, but mostly just a place for a bunch of nerds to shoot the breeze before they head off to events. It's not life or death and not worthy of a lot more time. |

I think there is an east coast bias in some coverage though not only in FRC... for instance in GameSense not one mention of San Diego Regional week 1 were we as member of #8 took down #1 in QF two games.... that almost never happens in FRC and was noteworthy so is a rookie ranking #1 there over 399. But hey we are used to it, they had nothing to say when we were alliance captain 2 either in CVR after leading the pack at end of Day 1. I agree with Citrus Dad CVR should have been highlighted more in this weeks preview with FOUR WC teams facing off rather than also-ran. That is what top 25 is a joke no one knows what is going on everywhere everyone is in their own little niche FRC world. That is why I think 'preview' or 're-cap' coverage should reflect all regions equally. In GameSense if you were not a district event you did not rate. I'm pretty sure we played with some of the best bots the world has this weekend in CVR and would put them up in a heartbeat against Texas. Ridiculously talented top talent on display. |

Not to put any of the other amazing teams there down- we all know that 1323, 701, 1671, 5137, 5817 have very good machines, and everyone was already going to watch that event just to see those amazing matches. LF can't cover every event. LF selects a few events that are stronger than usual with perhaps a less-than-certain outcome to highlight, because it makes sense to bring attention to those events. |

If you don't like how Looking Forward writes their posts, than don't read them.
I can't believe we have to have a discussion about people not liking how LF does things. I don't see anyone else making write ups of every single event that makes everyone happy. LF can do what they want, if you'd rather your region or another specific region was highlighted why don't you do it? NE Forecast is a brand new account that I've found to be very knowledgable about New England, which I like. Personally, I liked reading more about Arizona. I knew who to watch at CVR and LA. I know nothing about Arizona. I've come out learning more. |

Love 179 and the Texas powerhouse teams, The High rollers too... wish I knew more about Michigan and some of the others around the country and world. I just happened to watch a lot of Florida and Texas past two seasons in scouting. Us west coasters are used to the bias its all good. BTW thanks for this OP each week its cool to read about teams I do not know. |
