The team appealing for my sponsorship painted a much different picture of FIRST.
When we won the world championship in 2012, 1 member from a different team used a weakness in the WiFi communications to wreak havoc on other robots at the highest level. Two of the robots on our alliance had changed our radios, unwittingly making us immune to the attack. These events led some to question the legitimacy of the win. It was thoroughly investigated by FIRST, the offending party banned from any future FIRST activities, and we've all moved on.

I will not respond to any of the other accusations you've made here. They are slanderous and disrespectful. As your arguments have been thoroughly debunked, I would suggest that you and everybody else simply drop this thread.
