I love FIRST and all that it stands for, yet I wish sometimes it was more practical. Why can't games be based on real world problems? With 300 teams searching to build the best robot to win a game similar to the problem, some good idea or prototype may come up. I like the design challenge of a new game every year, but i hate the fact that the result of 6 weeks of hard work go down the drain, to be salvaged as a practice bot or for parts. Couldn't we encourage big corperations to suggest real problems for us to consider? Sure, what we build wont be a final project, but the company will have 300 prototypes, and ideas to look at!! Make the game fun and all that, but make it useful
