1)The KOP- Many teams are missing components

3)The spec sheets- there's no info on the Globe motors, seat motors, van door motors, or the Fisher Price motors
4)The Suppliers- I know it's not really the fault of FIRST, but the ball incident is just plain stupid. First teams couldn't figure out which was the right one, and then the company ran out of them and replaces them with ones that may alter the construction of the robot (for plows and such)
I don't mean to start a controversy or anything, but there are just my views, not that of any other member of my team, sponsors, ect.

It's you.
FIRST is doing an amazing job, to say that they are "not up to par" is unfair.
They are doing their best to make this year a positive experience for all participants (At all levels). I've been finding things have improved greatly over previous years. I'm amazed at how well things are going, and excited for this competition season.
