The team appealing for my sponsorship painted a much different picture of FIRST.

2 years ago at championships, during the finals, someone actually interfered with the field, and was able to shut down any robot at will. He admitted to doing it during one match. He was asked to never come back to a FIRST event ever again. Some people around here still have very harsh feelings on this, so this is about as much as this should be discussed. I just wanted to bring it up as a reason they would NEVER interfere, because they were on the other side.
