Don,

I agree with you that most everything in that document is technically correct and I'm sure it was well intentioned attempt to level set expectations.

However, I think it also comes across as tone deaf. Do you sell FRC to incoming freshman by saying, "Well, our robot is probably going to be a box on wheels for a few years, and you won't get a chance to do any of the limited cool work on the team until maybe your senior year."?
