Re: Finalists: Student Voting vs. Industry Professional Judging

What's wrong with both? Reality TV does it, so why shouldn't FIRST?

...

...OK, bad reason. But saying that high school student voting automatically degrades into a "popularity contest" is somewhat demeaning. Sure, it can happen sometimes, but I think that for something like this, students (or anyone) should be able to separate quality from the team behind the design. Besides, I like to think that FIRSTers are better...

...just kidding...
