Re: Texas UIL State Championship Qualification Information
Let me add... NOBODY here is bad guy/gal.
I believe everyone involved has good intentions and are good people--some I really like individually.
I just don't agree with the goals of FIRST-in-Texas and their approaches and their insularity from real team leaders, like myself, who try to get involved with FiT and offer to contribute and to help shape goals and approaches and are rebuffed from getting involved, because we're not in the club, where the rubber hits the road.
Has anyone looked lately at the FIRST-in-Texas board roster? WHERE'S the experienced experts on running FIRST FRC and FTC teams?
ALL accomplished folks on the board, for sure, but _how_ would they know what we teams need and want in Texas competition robotics?
And you can see the actual fruits of this experience gap in the UIL deal as it's now constituted.
