Ahhh.... the entitlement generation...

I never attribute to malice what I can equally attribute to poor decisions. I believe FIRST will do whatever it feels is right. I know FIRST is made up of humans who do make mistakes. I feel this is one of those mistakes. Stating that I am unhappy with how things are playing out does not make me entitled or negative or "un GP" (as someone will surely claim at some point). It makes me a concerned mentor. It makes me a customer who, having spent a good deal of money and time to get to this stage, wants to get a lot of bang for their buck. I want my students to realize that people like Andy Baker are rockstars and are at least as worthy of multimillion dollar contracts as Will.I.Am. I just don't see how the perception of being shoved aside for some pop concert isn't saying that it is more important than the engineers... Remember, perception is more important than intent.
