The one thing I really liked about kick-off this year is how Dave and Dean and Woodie stressed the fact that IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU LOOSE, becuase either way, you still built a robot out of bits in pieces in 6 weeks, and learned new things. It's about having a good time, meeting new people, sharing ideas,and learning. A trophy is a meer piece of plastic, if you value that more than everything else FIRST has to offer, then I think you may be forgetting what this program is all about.
