If it's for fun, and everyone's good-natured about it, and all teams are willing to participate, I'd be all for it.

But I fear it's not going to end well, and it's not going to bring any justice to proceedings.
I agree 100%. Let IRI be IRI...

I also believe that even though there are a lot of smart people in here discussing ideas about what is the problem and how to fix and things about the field not being used, etc...I don't think that many of you know really how everything operates and what goes on behind the scenes. (neither do I). It's all conjecture.

What we do know is that I'm sure this is now a priority at all levels of FIRST and something will be done about it. We may not hear a public statement from them until kick-off or until beta testing 2012... But I bet things change.
