I am glad that someone else notice that Mr. Lavery has not commented on this issue. Last year he was all over Hatch for every little problem. Is there a reason that he is not commenting. At the Winter War Zone scrimmage the guys from IFI told us that Dave Lavery and Tony Norman convinced FIRST to hire this group to write this years system.

We will just have to add 2007 to list of years were the 1st week of regionals had issues. (In my 10 years in FIRST I can not remember a year we did not have problems on week #1. Writing a scoring/field control system is not as easy as everyone thinks. And this years field is simple, no automation.)

The other thing we need to remember is that FIRST has all new engineers. There is not one engineer who has any previous FIRST experience. I am sure that next week will be better.

"If you go that way you can be somebody. You will have to make compromises and you will have to turn your back on your friends. But you will be a member of the club and you will get promoted and you will get good assignments." Then Boyd raised the other hand and pointed another direction. "Or you can go that way and you can do something for your country, your Air Force and for yourself. If you decide to do something, you may not get promoted and you may not get the good assignments and you certainly will not be a favorite of your superiors. But you won't have to compromise yourself. You will be true to your friends and to yourself. And your work might make a difference. To be somebody or to do something. In life there is often a roll call. That's when you will have to make a decision. To be or to do? Which way will you go?"
