I love the organization of U.S FIRST. Its organization is number

one to me. For more than a decade, it has molded the future

engineers, architects, etc.... for this country and other countries.


For some reason though, some teams take the fun out of it.

Some people forget that its for the students. On some teams

politics is taken into account. I feel that teams are arguing more

on a political level rather than discussing the robotic aspects of

the game.


For example:

I have witnessed a team that has taken them longer to design a

team jersey than build the actual robot.

Sometimes the power of certain individuals goes to their heads.

So instead of dealing with robotic team issues, they argue which

color or what design something is going to be. I believe some

teams waste time, money, and resources of some of their

students. Some team advisor's don't realize how precious some

of their students are until they quit and move onto another team.
