Re: FRC Blogged - Administrative manual is out
There are some obvious problems with the vacuum left by the loss of the Autodesk Awards which many FIRSTers have addressed here.
But nobody is pointing out the method in which we found out. FIRST has promised more transparency, yet such a major change is left to be found by deductive reasoning???
When you lose a complement of awards that have been a corner stone of your program for two decades, a simple manual release in DECEMBER is not the way you should find out.
I am sure there are coaches throughout FIRST that have been building up this contest for their students, as a goal for 2013. Now they have egg on their faces, just one month before Kick-off.
As Jared has mentioned, Team 341 has plenty of valuable CAD and Animation projects that our students can work on to fill this void. But the timing and method of notification is a poor choice and does not show an appreciation for the ground level mentors that are working with the kids on these projects every day.
The FIRST manual release is no way to announce such a major departure from the past.
