now for my 2 cents.

The students are ninnies. But so are the coaches too.

This is both a good thing for some teams, and a bad thing for others. On my team, it was simple. One coach was there to strategize, the other was to coach the students on what NOT to do on the robot (dont break it, or dont overdo something).

On occassion, the students may come up with a strategy. But on some teams, the students arent that bright. On some teams coaches might fight. And on others, coaches might be too forceful. Though adults probably will not fight, students might.

So it is a mixed blessing. I still think they should not have done it. I think FIRST should ask us before they make major decisions like these.

After all, isnt this our competition too?
