Re: Why Losers Lose?

i think it is necessary to qualify what this thread means by "losing"

It seems that most of this thread and its sister thread "why winners win"...
is discussing winning and losing from an on field perspective.

If this is what the creator of the thread intended...so be it.

I know that our team doesn't look at winning this way... or losing.
In both of our best years 2010 and 2011 our team did not win a regional but those were what I considered to be winning years...

Winning on the field is necessarily limited to a single three team (or sometimes 4 team) alliance for each event. It always comes down to how well the teams play together. Great robots can be beaten by good teamwork.

I would like to think that most if not all of the teams in FIRST are not losers...

If we decide that we can only have three winners at an event... we are really limiting ourselves...

just a thought....
