I'm not really interested in labeling teams as a "True FIRST Team" because they live up someone's esoteric definition. Each team has the right to run their team in the manner they see fit. If this means they don't make an effort for certain awards or don't support other FIRST programs, who are we to judge them?
Precisely! I think we should be focusing less on making teams conform to the ideals and more supporting each other in the extent we choose the embody FIRST. If a team only wants to do robot stuff and go home, we should be supportive. If a team has a weak robot but loves doing all the extra stuff associated with FIRST, we should be supportive. FIRST is about the community as much as it is the 'true FIRST Team'.
