Re: GP? I think not.
I completely disagree with this and am going to take it as an insult because thats clearly what it was meant for.

Re: GP? I think not.
Thats a pretty negative attitude. But yes of course they could have done better with mentor help, which is why I said before "I want to make it clear that I am not arguing that if a student does not...

Re: Gracious? Professional? Huh.
So FIRST is only allowed to have the one single effect of inspiration? Wouldnt it be great if learning was integrated with the inspiration so they have a head start for their aspiring careers?

Re: GP? I think not.
I dont think 100% student built robots exist either, but if they do, it would be alot more impresive to me then a 100% mentor built robot.

Re: Gracious? Professional? Huh.
So you dont consider the opinion that students can learn from building WITH mentors help, and not mentors help alone a credible opinion? I dont think that opinion is too unique.

Re: Winning Multiple Regionals
But being them, and being an amazing team, doesnt mean you have to win multiple seperate regional competitions in one year.

Re: Winning Multiple Regionals

And no FIRST does not absolutely have to be fair, but I think if it is as much as possible without...

Re: Winning Multiple Regionals
It is an unreasonable conclusion. Its like your trying to tell me how I feel which im pretty sure is not possible, and all it does is attempt to lower the significance of my opinion.

Re: GP? I think not.
I never said anything of the sort, I never got offended, I hardly even consider this an argument rather than a discussion.

Re: GP? I think not.
If any of whats being said here is taken as an insult then people are being way too defensive or are looking to get offended, feeling of moral superiority? Im going to go with the first one.

Re: Winning Multiple Regionals
Thats what ive been trying to come up with. The whole concept of a regional IS you only go to one, in which if you win you move on to the nationals. On the other hand FIRST isnt a normal competition,...
