Re: Ideas to move in the direction of making FIRST competitions 'fair'
I personally love the fact that some teams are dominated by pro engineers and receive thousands of dolors in funding! So much the better when we beat them! (or not )

At least it gives us a goal...

I think FIRST is a big trap. They lure you in with these cool competitions and shiny robots and along the way they trick you into learning something

If you make the competitions fair, there will no longer be any competition, and as a result... it won't be exciting... and there won't be any bait
(why try when everybody wins?)
