I'm not too sure if we are ready for prime time. Yet. The hype that has to be spewed to get the general public interested in this type of competition would poison it. FIRST is an addiction. It is going to grow because the students won't forget the experiences.

As far as boring matches, you are right in that the majority of the qualifying matches this weekend were rather mundane. But I think that was because we were the first ones to compete and the strategies were still theoretical and untested in competition.

Although, our driver tended to keep me one step out of the CCU quite regularly. Flying a 120+ lb robot through the air is quite a sight.

See y'all at Nationals.
