The overall reaction I have seen is that everyone seems to enjoy this change. Everyone says "Oh well our team can write very well" and what not. Well, I also see the problem that teams couldn't afford video equiptment. But think again, FIRST stands for "for INSPIRATION and recognition of science and TECHNOLOGY" This is a big step back from what FIRST is all about. The technology has just been taken away from the Chairman's Award. Now if were not careful FIRST may go all the way back to the stone age and robots will be made out of rocks and dirt. I still firmly believe that this is the wrong choice for FIRST and the teams and team members should do something about it.
