Re: [FRC Blog] Einstein Report Released

First of all I'd like to say that FIRST has done a remarkable job in handling this problem. I can't think of another organization who could pull together this kind of report and would do as much work as they could to figure out the conclusions that they did. Bravo!

As for the interference, the individual in question got what they deserved and that's that. Whatever team they may have been a part of has no responsibility for them if they were acting by themselves. I personally believe that the team should stay anonymous because whether we like it or not, they will become "the team who ruined Einstein". Which of course they shouldn't, but unfortunately, that's just how it works.

As for the teams that were interfered with on Einstein, I hope all of you make a soon return to Einstein, because what happened is extremely unfair and selfish. For those of you that were effected by it, the FIRST community is here for you. All of these teams have shown the utmost professionalism, I don't know if there are many other teams thy could do so. While 180, 25, and 16 were a fantastic alliance and definitely have all the credentials of a championship alliance, I still feel sorry for certain teams who were unable to perform because of an outside attacker that they had no control over.

I have no doubt that us as a FIRST community will be able to get through this rough situation, and that the teams involved remain as successful as possible.
