[Joe Johnson]

Concerning the comment about the forest and the trees, I am not sure what Lil' Lavery is getting at.

Is it that the system worked (i.e. even with all the problems discovered, we had a season with a record number of competitions and and competitors)?

Is it that the system broke but is going to be fixed (i.e. There were problems but FIRST got to the bottom them)?

Is it that the system is broken (i.e. even among robots that make it to Einstein, a substantial proportion have major electrical/programming problems)?

Is it that the system is really broken (i.e. that the control system is a brittle mismash of marginally compatible subsystems that on its best day is can be in inadvertently brought to its knees by well intentioned programmers yet alone nefarious no-goodnicks)?

I can see a lot of forests and a lot of trees.
