I agree with this thread; the focus of FIRST is not who has the better robot or who won that regional, but who has the most spirit of FIRST, and the most willingness to show that spirit.

Even if your robot got eliminated or was not selected to be in an alliance, be happy that it worked and you tried your hardest and had fun doing it. Thats what counts; not how many regionals you won or high scores you received. Still challenge yourself to accomplish these goals, but don't get upset if you don't succeed and no matter what don't loose that FIRST spirit.
