One thing that indefinitely plagues our team, and many others, is ambition. While not inherently bad in and off itself, to much can cap logistics and can lead to a team trying to do it all, especially the lower class teams, like my own. many people fail to see the big picture in first competitions, I have been a voice of reason within my team so that when my team says lets shoot and feed well when we have no experience except for one very poor year that ended up being simply a robot that could drive. I believe while yes teams will try to do it all, and many fail, soon they will realize strategic advantages. If you have three box on wheel robots against three high end teams, they can still make a difference, no they won't win, but there is only one ball? I think as a regional progresses the maturity of the newer teams will too, teams will soon learn that they can't win if they don't work together, and the teams that believe they have something to prove and don't care of their alliances agendas, they will fall behind and eventually learn. So while in the beginning there will be some negative things happen, over all I believe by the end of the season the people of FIRST will have a new attitude towards working together, one for the better. Maybe I'm wrong, but thats just how I see it.
