Yes we are. The issue of money and parts was covered more or less 'ad nauseum' in another thread.
Regarding FTC/FLL versus some non-FIRST program -
- nowhere was it said you had to take a loyalty oath to FIRST do this year's game.
- nowhere was it said you had to abandon your other outreach efforts
- nowhere was it said you had to give up all the other robotics programs you enjoy promoting.
It was simply asked that at a minimum you put a tetrix motor or two and a few more parts together to climb a pole. And if you are feeling in a good mood maybe commune with the FLL and FTC folks. But if you don't want to support FLL / FTC that is fine, just build the minibot, send it up the pole, and don't worry about it.
If you look around you will find some very well known people that are big players in other types of robotics programs, and other types of STEM programs. If they do not have a problem with what is going on, then why should the rest of us ?
