Coach on team #47, Chief Delphi, from Pontiac Central H.S. and Delphi Automotives Systems.

At first( no pun intended )there was some excitement as I watched, but it got old very fast. I was disappointed that there was not more technology displayed, very little strategy involved.

Radios appeared primitive compared to the system we use and the mechanisms were very basic.

If you took say team #1 Juggernauts and mounted a smasher on it it would destroy all I seen. Most of our FIRST robots could out manuever and with small modification could be dominate. Imangine the 'crab' of Chief Delphi.

They got the 'Hook-up' somehow and with the format that is patterened after Wrestling it will draw a specific audience. The Bay Watch chick was a real touch. Should we suggest this to Dean?

Did you notice that the robots were made with 1 exception by hobby persons at home, not students or engineers from a company.

Did anyone else see the credits at the end. The last second was the name FIRST productions in big bold type 1/2 the page. Hmmmmmmm I wonder?
