Do I think there's an issue? Of course. Am I going to take up arms against FIRST? No. If anything, I owe FIRST the benefit of the doubt, at least.

Oh, i see what you're saying. Yeah, there's definitely no reason to say that FIRST is terrible or anything like that; in fact, I feel that the 2012 Championship Event went significantly better than championships last year. Having all the fields in the dome and such was fantastic. FIRST definitely did a lot of things right this year. It's just a shame that the comm issues, starting at a regional level and working their way all the way up to Einstein, have to overshadow it all, and now FIRST has to do something about it.
I'd say that if FIRST releases a statement about it within the next few days, and a solution within the next couple months, we can't really complain. I'd say the only scenario in which we can truly start bashing FIRST is if they try to sweep it under the rug.
