A bit unfair

Wow, I was sad to read this post. It showed me a side of FIRST I did not expect to see. Talk about GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM what happened to that. I have enjoyed reading the Chief Delphi Forum since September when I became interested in starting a Robotics Club at our high school. I am in awe of their commitment to us all.
When I decided to commit our school and the students to this endeavor I did not think for one minute we would win a competition. I did hope that I would get the students involved in working together toward a common goal and inspire them to be better students. I had 53 students sign up for the club and 20 staff members. We had fundraisers, spoke at different civic clubs, made a connection with the University of New Haven, and knocked on a lot of doors to get the word out about what we were doing. We did finish our robot today and I am very proud of our students for that accomplishment. Paradox is not an awesome robot but it is the best our students could build given our parameters. They are very happy that they are going to Richmond to compete in a regional. If nothing else I expect that they will be Gracious Professionals and enjoy and learn from this new experience. Thank You NASA for sponsoring us.
