Being a first pick for another alliance gives you some of this as well, as it can then be a join decision for the second pick. Whether we win or lose doesn't really matter.

I totally agree. FIRST isn't about winning, though winning is a nice intensive, FIRST is about learning and about the experience. I would rather my team tried its hardest and failed and learn from that, then any thing else. Besides if you have accomplished everything what else is there to look up to. If you have a dream, make that dream you life. Everyone's dream should be to be the best they can be and to learn the most they can learn. So if they're best isn't THE best of everyone they can accept it and stop trying or they can try even harder for the next match or the next competition or the next season. But I'm just one person. But if 10 or 100 or 1000 or even 100,000 people don't care about winning but instead care about the reasons of FIRST we WILL change the game and how people see it.
