It's a shame that every year (or at least the last 3) Chief Delphi does very well, and every year you have to defend your program. If only for the sake of time (and your wrists, one notices it is far more time and energy consuming to DEFEND than to ATTACK) you should consider posting a 'Mission Statement' to once and for all clear up why and how you do this. There are obviously many misconceptions about FIRST and especially about Chief Delphi; it would be to everyone's benefit if these misconceptions could be cleared up once and for all.
Of course, this is just one lowly student's opinion and Lord knows you guys already have your time filled.

PS I'm not trying to attack John, who posed the question. I think he's got valid points IF one looks at this competition as simply and engineering education. But as Dean, Woodie, and everyone else in here has mentioned there is more to it than that. It should also be noted that FIRST really allows you to determine your own mission. For John's team it may be an engineering education. No goal is really better than another, but different schools use FIRST for different purposes.
