Re: [FRC Blog] Einstein Report Released

We are shocked, dismayed and troubled that an individual on a FIRST team would actually perform an intentional, malicious, wireless attack on our alliance. We are concerned that neither the individual nor the team he is associated have yet to come forward and publicly apologize for this horrendous incident. We hope that they come forward publicly soon, so we can all put this terrible event behind us. It would be a shame if they hid under the cloak of anonymity. Even if the team was completely unaware of the individual's actions, we would still hope that they would come forward, so that some of the motives would become more clear.

Words can't express how much this news hurts. To know that someone felt the need to intentionally target us for this type of attack stings beyond all belief. This is not the FIRST we grew up in, this is not the FIRST we love.
Even though I think that the teams that had this happen to them deserve to know who did it and why, I foresee what you are asking turing into a similiar mindsight as the Jerry Sandusky case. That is, that the perpetrator did it full knowing what he was doing and what the consequences could be and forgoing the effect it would have on others, but it in turn not only effected him but also Penn State; the point im getting at is, putting forth the person and team publicly would do far greater harm to the team and their image amongst their peers and the FIRST community. I think a much better solution to what Karthik wants, and is justified in wanting, is to have all the parties involved meet so that everyone can be satisfied as to reasons why, punishment, etc... But I do beleive that this shouldnt be known to the masses.
