Re: A(nother) Sad Day For FIRST

Some more entries for the bingo card:

Mentor-built vs Student-built
Extending the build season
If all-girls teams/programs are OK then all-boys teams/programs are too
Losing a match on purpose
FTC vs FRC - How much emphasis should each receive?
Is "excited" the same thing as "inspired"?
FRC isn't primarily a competition
Artificially limiting FTC events to only middle school students

Accepting getting penalties as part of a grander strategy.

If this is true, that's truly a shame.

My rookie year, 2014, I remember seeing their bot compete at the Chesapeake Regional and being pretty blown away as a freshman. When we could barely put a robot on the field I looked to 233's slick looking bot as a source of inspiration to improve for the next year.

Hope it's just a rumor.

It doesn't warrant another thread, but I was just told today the team I am an alumni of is quitting FRC post this season after 13 years of competition. (FRC 1102)

They've quit all their FIRST teams in favor of Vex teams.

I would not surprised if more teams left FIRST for Vex due to the change in the championships configuration.

If the VEX folks are lucky, that will happen so often that the number of VEX teams will become too large to be accommodated in a single championship. :D

I've started a separate thread on the question of vex vs. FRC. I hope Pink isn't leaving.
