Re: [FRC Blog] Two Championship Survey Results and Path Forward

I wanted to wait until after the Town Hall and after more data/information was made available before voicing an opinion. And that's exactly what I said in the comment box beneath my response.
Not specifically aimed at you, but you happened to be handy.

For all those who voted 5, would you care to share "undecided (at this time)", "withholding judgement", or "don't care" status at the time of the survey, and have you changed your response at this point?


Full disclosure: I didn't fill out the survey. If I had to respond, I would be leaning in about the 4-5 range: I don't like it, but I think there's enough room to improve (in a variety of ways) that I could be persuaded to go the other way. I could also end up working my way down towards the 1s and 2s, if that improvement doesn't go the way of improvement.



One thing that's finally gotten through to me: Any way you slice the data, if the average is less than 5.5 on this scale, you ain't winnin' no election. Just the way the scale works. The fact that they're trying to SPIN it... Sorry, Frank, but sometimes you gotta bite the bullet! This isn't a popular decision, and not even by going by team number with the data are you going to be able to change that! "There are lies, d****d lies, and statistics."--attributed to Mark Twain.
