That's like saying little we are so proud of little Timmy because he got a D in math this quarter when he got an F last quarter. That's like saying we seeded 47th last year so our goal is to seed 46th this year. That's like getting served spoiled milk that has been sitting out only one day instead of two. Regarless of the improvement, it is still not acceptable.

FIRST (and the rest of us) should strive not just for improvement, but for perfection.

EDIT: I forgot to note that FIRST is not entirelty to blame. There are also a couple 3rd party companies as I understand. But that just means that FIRST needs to get on them for not delivering a working product.
