Wecome to Chief Delphi - the website where the community of FIRST gathers to discuss ... just about everything that can be discussed.

I also love that an "outsider" was able (and brave) enough to provide feedback relative to your FIRST experience. With that kind of feedback, many items can be improved.

For many years, the local and regional events were pretty much only attended by the teams, friends of team members, plus parents and relatives of team members. Often, communication of the more fundamental stuff was overlooked - due to it amounting to preaching to the choir. So, I can see how it has been kinda overlooked by folks. Hopefully, wonderful input like this will remind us that we need to include that level of information too.

My wife told me that she was confused about a couple things, but overall she said it didn't take very long to generally understand what the game was and how it was played. She is a veteran of 12 years worth of FIRST happenings, so, even though it was the first event she attended this year, she can't really be classified as an "outsider".

Bring back and share any other thoughts or ideas that you can think of,
