Thanks to everyone who cleared it up for me earlier.

Now, raise your hand if you remember the "Featherweight in the Finals" award. How about "Most Photogenic" or "Play of the Day"?

No one? Just me?

Awards come and go. Funding comes and goes. That's why many Junior Highs in the US were replaced by Middle Schools. It's fine to show concern about the direction of the program, but after 17 seasons I can assuredly tell you the only thing certain in FIRST is change.

Change is a good thing. If we stay stagnant, we are no longer relevant. The best teams know this, and FRC knows this as well.

And if you don't like it, that's okay (and you're welcome to voice that), but I suggest that you just wait it out a few years. We'll have something new to complain about in five years, I'm sure.
