I think, instead, that most everyone agreed that the entire discussion was insignificant to the mission of FIRST and that teams should go with what works well for them and what they feel comfortable with.

I think we're in agreement on the topic at hand but differ on the purpose of my post. My post served to remind the poster that his point is moot. FIRST is about inspiration and it doesn't matter if you only have students on your team or a league of engineers. The students are inspired, mission accomplished.
I'm with Cory on the fact that the Criticism section should not be in the Wiki article because it makes FIRST look bad. Essentially what we have is negative publicity over a debate that is ridiculous to the point of not mattering. The Criticism section should not be there.
