Re: Oppressed Nerd Mentality
Not to be negative about your post(well the first part of it), but it is called FIRST Robotics Competition, not the FIRST Robotics Show...while all this is meant for us to learn about science and technology, it is also meant to be a game that you should be trying to win.
Personally, I love the whole learning aspect, but if it wasn't for the actual thrill of winning, I'm not sure how long i really would've been interested.
This is all one's own opinion though and is hard to discuss. Yeah there are many thigns more important then this competition, but we are kids and just having fun, and winning is, simply put, incredible.

If you do say something that isn't just for fun or praising something, which hopefully you do, just be prepared to back up what you said.

Anything that I post is an opinion from my own mind. Some may agree with it, others may not. However do not negatively associate anyone else, including any team I work with, with my opinion.
