The best, and only surefire (IMO), solution to change the culture to universally accept and celebrate teams like 1114 is to make it so the teams who can't compete with 1114 and don't have the caliber of design process of 1114 the minority rather than the majority. When 1114 is the norm, rather than the elite, it will be a lot harder to not appreciate what 1114 accomplishes.

How do we achieve such a lofty goal? I have no idea. I started to ramble about it, but decided it's probably wiser to leave it open ended.

Here at DAWGMA, an alumnus used to joke that 1712 has a little 71 in us. While it was more a play on numbers than anything, I hope one day that every team has more "FRC nerds" on it where they can appreciate great teams when they see them. And for it to be an honest appreciate, not jealousy or contempt.


e; To be fair. I still hate the New York Yankees and always will. Perhaps I'm just biased, but I do think this challenge will be awfully hard to solve.
