This might not be what you're intending, but this reads an awful lot like "screw what other people think, my opinion is the correct one."

That's not a particularly productive view to have.

I, for one, like this game quite a bit. There are issues, yes, but the fundamental design is the best FIRST has had in a long while. FRC has gone too long with three robots playing in parallel rather than three robots playing as a team.
