I do understand where everyone is coming from. I wouldn't like to have few kids represent my team like that either, but have you thought about the other 30 kids and other mentors who are on the team? did they support this? I am very sure the mentor never said "go do it". Team 647 is part of FIRST family, and I don't think it is very gracious how we are going at them in this thread. I think there is a much better way to solve this problem. Maybe contacting the mentors or teachers on team 647 would help. Let them know what exactly happened at lonestar regional so they would be able to prevent it from happening again.
... It doesn't help when you state the problem and comment about it every time, but it do help when you try to solve it.
Please don't take any offense.
