Re: Is FRC truly competitive?
People try their best to win it. Sure, a lot of other things happen as a result, and we use those things as motivation as well. But competition, against teams, or against "the field," is a driving factor. It drives us to come back better at each tournament.
And without this drive to come back better each time, I don't think FIRST could have grown into what it is, and what it will be.
