Actually, this was the point of this thread. My OP was a bit rambling, and lost the original intent which was this:

We are both customers and salesmen for FIRST. As customers, we expect a quality product that meets or exceeds our expectations. My expectations were not met this year. As a customer, I don't feel I got my money's worth. To be clear, I didn't invest any of my money (my company invested a good bit) but I invested hundreds of hours of my time. As salesmen, we need a product that is easy to sell, that any person off the street could walk up and say "that's cool! I want to buy that!". This years game was not an easy sell. Watching most of the qual matches was painful, confusing, and boring.

I am not saying I won't be a customer and salesman next year, I just hope that by letting the vendor know we are not satisfied with his product, the vendor will make the necessary adjustments to improve next year.
