I have been a member of FIRST and chiefdelphi for 3 years now, and for some oddball reason, every season a thread like this is destined to show up where after several complaints about X, Y, and/or Z, something to center attention on the main goals of FIRST comes up.

Here are my thoughts:

I, personally, hate hearing complaints.
I, personally, do not like to complain.
Further more, I, personally, would not complain, but be careful if you must, about anything even slightly related to FIRST, including but not limited to, NASA, Microchip, InnovationFIRST, etc. etc. Your reputation can suffer beautifully if you go liberal in thought and complaining.

SO, remember GP, its like MP, or HP, but nothing to deal with Magic or Health Points. Gracious Professionalism is a way of life.

Finally, remember that you put hours, even days of work into your robots, teams, organizations, etc. Now remember that just like you, other engineers, including those who help keep the games at competitions up and running, spend just as much if not more time on similar things.

2 more cents into the jar.
