Re: A Request

Here is my humble request....

I think its time to stop comparing various robotics programs. As far as I know most if not all of them have the same intention of inspiring students into STEM. Each program comes with its own set of requirements, limitation, expectations, rules etc. Students get to join those programs, sometimes not by choice, programs don't exists in their schools or they don't have resources. Some programs are better organized than others, some teams/schools do better than others, its all about resources and students interest and dedication. Not every team is lucky to get big sponsors and professional mentors, many teams barely manage with parents/grand parents helping out, some even work in their garage or basements. If you happen to be on a established team with resources and if your team is doing good, be grateful to those who started your team, most likely they would have gone through the same challenges that new programs or teams go through. Please don't assume that these teams or programs are not working hard to improve them. Making blanket statements about who or which program is better is taking this discussions into ugly "bully land". Please show GP and if you think the program you are in is better than other, and be happy and move on.
