Re: Parade hint

I don't quite understand the reaction to turn all of these awesome things that FIRST does around this time of year and dissect them to death. FIRST has been making it readily apparent in recent years what is and is not a game clue. While the game clues are fun this practice is detracting for things that are very awesome and transformative in their own right. Sometimes it is ok to just bask in the amazing things that FIRST has seen fit to include us in and not look any deeper than that, as it cheats you out of things that are more profound.

Sorry seems like a bit of a rant, but this practice is becoming more prevalent every year and it feels like people are missing the entire point. As Libby stated, this is entirely about the mission of FIRST and doesn't need to be anything more than that because it is very cool in and of itself.
