I was involved in FIRST competitions all through high school (am a Junior in college now), and recently got a chance to see a local post-season competition. When i was involved with FIRST, there was always an overpowering sense of community, and more importantly, sportsmanship.

At the recent event. I witnessed one alliance refusing to let the opposing alliance replace a malfuntioning robot with their third member. Instead, they were forced to play 2 vs 1. This team went on to win the competition.

What do you all think of this? I, personally, was upset that someone would care that much, especially in a post season competition. Opinions?
