Re: Team 548 Einstein Statement

I think Nick is saying what most of us are thinking.

This mentor did not tell his team the full story, in my opinion. And this statement makes him look even worse (to me) because none of the other accusations that many are thinking about are addressed. Maybe he said this was the reasoning and that it only happened on Einstein and was a method of protest to protect team 548's wins last season? Maybe he did this at other events to gain competitive advantage? Those are my beliefs, and I'd like to see this same person address those beliefs. Even if he confirms or denies this, I honestly think more than just the Einstein teams deserve an apology. Yes these are bold statements, but I am perfectly confident that I am not the only one with these beliefs.

Kudos to the rest of 548 for releasing this statement. A bit late, but that is understandable. Yes you still have the support of other teams in FIRST (at least mine).
