My two cents.
I have been around a long time. I have seen a lot.
In my opinion, Team 47 is UNFAIRLY judged. Not by all, by a small, jealous few.
They are all about FIRST, and we should all thank them. They have taken FIRST to a new level. On the field, they are a fierce competitor in which we have fought with on numerous occasions, and also have partnered with as an alliance, it's been a pleasure. When it comes to the game, they, like all of us want to win. From where I sit, they just happen to do it more than the rest of us. They make us ALL better! I only wish they could compete in as many regionals as their funds will allow. To be the best, you have to beat the best, and they are the best!
Off the field, I don't think there is a team that does more for the FIRST community. I don't think this is a stretch, but I would bet that if prior to a match an opponents robot was not working, they would do whatever possible to help them, no matter how tough an opponent. And that is only a small example.
I applaude Team 47 and everything they stand for. Keep up the GREAT work!
