I felt like this myself after 2009 and 2010, but the last 3 years really brought me back from that ledge.

I also used to be huge into BEST Robotics. It was a good change of pace from FIRST with the limited kit, smaller robots, and games that were a bit more "out there". However, from their first championship event onward I found myself at odds with them more and more, along with the rest of our team. Fields weren't being built to spec, the wireless system had major connection issues, and the build season was stretched all the way into the spring. The whole team was frustrated and felt like we were fighting against BEST the whole time, so we stopped doing BEST.

I've enjoyed FIRST a lot, but let's hope things like this year's problems don't become a pattern. I've seen how that goes.
