I agree whole heartedly. If FIRST is about changing the world and I've hard Dean say in x amount of speeches since 2003 how the rock stars aren't gonna change the world then why is FIRST eliminating two fields for the rock stars? Were those statements because we were envious that other organizations were catching their attention and not us?
I really wouldn't mind two pit fields IF there were more divisions and FTC/FLL expanded, not a rock concert. I really try to be supportive of FIRST's decisions but it is hitting a sad and hypocritical state. IMHO
Yes this will be fun in some ways but no matter how fun or exciting something is, it doesn't validate the "why" in the equation. These rock stars our here to celebrate us and our machines not us celebrating them.
