This is ridiculous.

For those of us who are on teams, provide material to the kit of parts, volunteer at events, and coordinate FIRST-related activities throughout the year, things are not random. I believe that you just insulted all of us who work hard to make FIRST what it is today.

From your outsider's viewpoint, things may seem random to you. How would you know any better? Join a team, volunteer at an event, or go climb another tree.
