Come on, people. Does everybody really have to rant, rave, and analyze EVERYTHING that goes on at FIRST? I just can't help but laugh when I see threads like this. I think people need to just lighten up. Paper airplanes in a classroom or venue like that are disrespectful. And, yes, throwing them during speeches is also somewhat disrespectful. But throwing them to entertain themselves during the 45 minute layover?

I actually think that if anything, people will look at that behavior (as I did) as an awesome example of robotics kids' enginuity and creativity. Trying to figure out the best way to overcome the down draft of the upper level seats and make them fly straighter. Trying to figure out the best designs and kind of make a competition out of it across the dome.

The paper airplanes are a perfect example of why I love FIRST. I may not be as into math and science as most FIRST kids, but I am still inspired by it and it makes me smile. I think it helped uplift the spirits for a lot of people.

Now seriously, stop analyzing and critiquing every little thing. It doesn't matter. If there was a serious attitude and behavior and respect problem as a whole on the part of FIRST students at CMP, that is the time to post a thread and talk about it.


P.S. I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful. This is just a prime example of why I rarely come to ChiefDelphi anymore.
