Now i have stayed shut up on this thread for quite a while(which is probably a good thing),but then i read this post and saw it beutifully illustrate two points that have been the basis for many of the negitive posts. Sorry to use you as the test subject M. Krass but it had to be someone. In your second paragraph(the first paragraph below) you said "whether it's because it doesn't focus on what we feel is important" and waht you may deam important is not necessarly important to say delphi or my team. EVERYBODY who is on a team is prejudice, be it for or against their team, so any rules that anybody on a team is going to be prejudice in some way.

whether it's because it doesn't focus on what we feel is important, or because it was unclear about some procedures, or because we're not eligible to go the Championship event.
Edited again: I also wanted to mention that, since it may not be clear, I have very few objections to Aidan's post beyond what I mentioned above. Rather, the subsequent implication that, as people who challenge things, we do not have a passion for FIRST. That's nonsense.

On this second paragraph i just wanted to say that they never said they were the only ones passionate about FIRST because they weren't challanging it, but they were saying that they WERE passionate because many people here are just simply bashing the new system, SO I want to challange anybody and EVERYBODY that if you don't like this system, design your own scoring system and work out all the logistics of it, send it to FIRST and see it they accept it. Otherwise you have four choices.
1) You can either continue to whine without till you see it has very little effect except to piss people off, and when you see the competition won't change for a while you will have to "cowboy up" in a hurry
2)you can accept the new system for what it is.
3) You can quit(just rember no quiter ever won and no winner never quit)
AND 4) YOU can make your own robotics league so you can truly appreciate the work and if you do put a thread here so people can say what they think of it (just to let you see how it feels)
I also want to thank FIRST for the great job they have done even though i am from a rookie team i have watched the comptition for years. I will shut up again. Sorry so wordy
