Re: Proposal: A New Way to Run FIRST Choice
I hate to say it, and really don't want to see it happen, but there really is only one way to make the parts distribution in the KOP "fair". That is to go back to the old model where everyone gets the same KOP. The only exception is for rookie teams who also get a controller and extra battery.
I understand why FIRST moved away from this model, but these parts issued have been around ever since the change to some degree. It just seems to have hit a peak this time around.
Here's a slightly off topic but related question.
How do you define what "fair" is?
Here are two versions I see a lot, but are by no means definitive.
"Equal outcome for all regardless of effort applied." I see this one used in reference to socioeconomic conversations.
"Outcome proportionate to effort applied." This one is used more often when applied to employment and income.
What I would like to believe in means in respect to this specific thread is:
"The same resources are equally available to choose from, for all teams."
So, what do you think? (Or maybe this needs to be in a thread by it's self.)
