Re: The Sad truth

I agree that there is far more to learn from a FIRST team than how to build a robot, however, i don't agree with this "survival of the fittest" rationale. Every school had a football team. no one has ever said, "man, there are already 3 football teams in the county, there just isn't enough funding for another one."
We need to start thinking that every student deserves to have a FIRST team at their school. again, this will take a shift from private funding to public funding.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
