Re: 2006 NASA/VCU Regional!

Ah, well in that case, I apologize. I only know what I was shown in the broadcast. It seems odd though, that a veteran team such as 539 would opt for destruction. I liked the makeshift wall, it had potential, but it seemed like they had driving issues during the quarters.

Even with all that has been said, I don't know if they deserve being called out like this. I mean, it's clear they were going for defense, but were misguided a bit. I don't think that's contrary to the ideas of FIRST, I think it very much follows them. Things like this happen in the real world, ideas are misguided, things go wrong, and bad things happen. They might not fit the "perfect" model of a FIRST participant, but that's no reason to call them out.
