I remember that last year, we cheered for them and they cheered for us. The feelings were great. We had a blast. Last year our robot was a hunk of metal that moved. Their robot was really good. Well this year the roles reversed, but instead of being optimistic about it, they pretty much wanted nothing to do with us. And it wasn't a few kids, it was MOST of the team.
I know the story behind what you are talking about.
I feel you are not accurately depicting the events as they occurred.

I also feel this discussion has moved past all usefulness.
It's turning into a flame war.

FIRST likes the Chairman's Award.
FIRST chooses to let all Chairman's Awards teams attend nationals.
FIRST will not change it's policy. (They REALLLLLLY like Chairman's teams, this is becoming more and more apparent).

Deal with it.


Everyone seems to have weighed in enough opinions...
Brandon?
