It is also just luck who you get allied with during the qualifying matches and it gives your team an opportunity to mingle with all of the teams, whether it is to compete with them or against them. If your robot really is one of the better robots, you shouldn't have to rely on your alliance partners in order to win a match. And last, FIRST is not about whether you win or not in competition. It's about you learning something from the experience and that experience also being a memorable one, and then taking that knowledge with you later on in life to help yourself and help the world.

Marcus,
Yes you did a good job driving and congratulations to your team for building a good machine. But please keep in mind that at a small regional, we all played with these teams, for and against. Sometimes you get better alliances than others its the luck of the draw. We had alliance partners that would regularly get DQed or take 25+ points in penalties during the match. Regardless of their strength or experience they are your alliance partners. You need to take it upon yourselves to make sure that everyone understands how things are played and learn to work together. Some teams may need more coaching to understand the game than others. This game and FIRST isn't ever won by having the best driver at the Regional on the field or the best robot alone. We push GP and coopertition on and off the field. Simply blaming others for your teams performance and self-adverstising here on CD isn't going to get you far and have the teams want to work with you in the future. Learn to play the game and help others play the game. And always remember that FIRST is more than just wins and losses, when you understand that you'll be on your way to becoming one of these experienced teams that you would call a "better alliance." -wayne |
