"I will get hit major her. My defense is this; whould you like to see FIRST become a rejected science fair, or a fullfleged competition that would make kids thing and ejoy the angony of defeat and happenes of winning"
But should there be the agony of defeat? If FIRST is about mentoring and inspiration and (even though Dean doesn't think so) education then is it possible to lose? Just a thought, my father once commented to me that just fielding a robot is a victory (then we went on to win Long Island as a bonus).
Sure winning is great, but it's all about the experience.
If the competition enhances the experience... (and IMHO I think it does) then GREAT!
