Ask team 3504 they hosted a Chinese robotics team for WVROX

FYI, free speech in the U.S. just means you won't be prosecuted for what you say*. It doesn't mean people have to agree with you or even tolerate you. HTH.

I'm well aware. How does this post add to the discussion when somebody else already posted the same content? By repeatedly posting this, it's just an underhanded way of saying "I'm smugly disagreeing with you."

Would it really surprise you that a person of Hispanic descent would not have a favorable opinion of you while wearing a "BUILD THAT WALL" button? Free speech doesn't give you a free pass to say whatever you want without repercussion.

I'm smugly disagreeing with you.

If you have time to try and further a political belief at an FRC event, you clearly aren't busy enough and should focus on doing more for your team. Just sayin.

You think that the 5 seconds it took me to put on a pair of flip flops should've been dedicated to my team? OK, I'll spend a bit more time working on the robot next build season.
