Re: Are The Penalties Too High?

I definetly agree that there are too many rules. My perception is that there are two ways to look at FIRST. One way is to look at it as a simulation of being an engineer. The other is to look at it as an exploration of technology. The fact is that the more acurate way to look at it is as a simulation of being an engineer. FIRST doesnt deal with cutting edge technology, so much as it gives students an opportunity to learn how to apply readily available older technology in an environment that is designed to simulate that in which an engineer would work. This is the reason there are so many penalties.
