Re: The Fraud of FTC Worlds - How FTC & FIRST have failed me forever.

For those advocating professional-level instant replay, here's a good article on how Major League Baseball implemented their replay system, which is considered to be the state of the art. Now think about how much that cost to implement and operate.

For reference, MLB had about $9 billion in revenues last year, vs FIRST revenues of about $55.5 million. FRC cost about $36 million to operate in 2014; FTC about $3 million.

Two final notes:

many people think of "fraud" as a pretty strong word, particularly in the context of critiquing the actions of one volunteer

future employers often use web searches to find out more about potential employees; it's worth examining posts in that context before pushing the "post" button
