Re: [FRC Blog] We're Listening

Didn't say USFIRST headquarters was right. I said the had the right to make the decision and these three threads aren't going to help anything.

You don't have to shut up and march but if you wan't to positively affect the program. Telling an inspired student that split championships would be so uninspiring for none of the reasons FRC or championships was inspiring isn't inspiring. Everyone gets that almost no one on this forum likes this decision for so many reasons. That is no reason to continue the debates like this. The same basic counter arguments, people taking hypothetical speech and examples as personal attacks. If I showed this to someone new they'd be more confused by the arguments than having north and south leagues!

This is how it is and it's going to be so quit bickering and find some solutions like engineers do!

I glanced at the 2010 championships field for 30 seconds but talking to the people and seeing the robots up close... the 2010 game was a thing of the past the moment I walked from the dome to the pit, but the experience of FRC isn't a yearly thing and It doesn't depend on USFIRSTs finances or planing or weather you crown 4 winners or 8. I was never told or shown or bothered to look up the winning robots form 2010 and yet here I am. One way or another FIRST makes you want to build robots and I still do and will. The way I see it we still have a good excuse to build them.

Here is your challenge for the 2017 session and all the ones after to go along with the games. Try to inspire some people in spite of whatever the championship structure is. You'll find it'll go better than you think. Figure it out engineers.

Also spare me the "that's just why you thought it was inspiring" speech and realize the things you think this weakens don't apply to everyone either.
