Are you getting soft, Brandon? When this has happened before, you'd refer to the person with their other user name (example: "...are against the rules, IMDWalrus").

As far as the original post goes, I'll just respond to these two points:

3a) As has already been said, FIRST is growing rapidly. They most likely didn't have the time or manpower to assemble the hundreds of IR beacons and receivers in time for shipping the kits. Besides...it shouldn't be too difficult for your team to put together. You are building a robot, right?

3b) Mistakes happen. Everyone screws up; you can't really hold this one against FIRST. I can't recall if they've corrected this one yet, but they will (hopefully) do it soon if they haven't.
