Reading this thread, I have become extremely upset.
If you look at our teams record, we have real good engineers, and usually put up a decent robot.
HOWEVER.
In the past 3 years, we have only won 1 award. YES, 1 award.
On our team we have 15 students. These 15 students are expected to put together a robot. A chairmans. A woodie flowers. And do PR.
This is a very hard endeavor which i applaud our kids for doing. Our team was a world champion (Thanks to 111 and 469), and we have very little to show for it afterwards.
The fact that you are comparing teams who have students who are eager to learn, Sponsors who are willing to put out the money, and Engineers/mentors who are willing to put in the time, to not being Gracious and that they should be ashamed of themselves..How dare you?
This really upsets me, For giving kids who want to learn and want to have a fun experience while in high school, you find it wrong? Many teams have a hard time, yes, its true. But its not about the WIN, or about the GLORY, its about the way you run your team.
Our team always cheers for the teams who are likely to win (217,1114) Heck, we even cheer for our cross town rival 47, BUT, we are not spiteful to those teams. We want to see the fun experienced and being able to do that does not involve winning.
Compare it to a sports team. The Detroit lions have sucked for the past 20 years, And even though they don't win, people still like them and cheer for them.
Just take this into consideration.\

*edit* After taking time to read what was going on, ive decided that people can have their opinions. However, i still think it is wrong to complain about success of others.
