From my perspective, this thread is about the negative parts of FIRST in the 2006 season. The center goal just happens to be just one problem of a larger issue.

I certianly DID NOT say that. I said that I wouldn't design one because that's not what's important. In fact, it would be a waste of time re-designing the center goal. My main concern was that when grouped with the field collectively it looks like 1 more system that did not follow an engineering process.

I would agree. I like this years game in theory and mostly in execution. It just needed more testing.

Believe me, if you were in New Hampshire on the first weekend and burned by the problems you would not forget.

A lack of testing is a sign that FIRST does not follow a process for designing the field. This is critical factor in my major complaint with FIRST.
