Re: String Theory: <G22> at the Championships

So i was playing basketball today..... i was thinking screw dribbling i mean coordination is tough i have never really been big on it so why should i do it, its a stupid rule.

The other day I was playing football... i was bored so i mixed things up when the QB called for the snap i ran backwards into my teams end zone and it was really far away. I should have gotten 6 points... instead my team mates kicked me off the field.

a couple of weeks ago I was playing baseball, I was up to bat i hit a fastball deep to center.... i ran to third instead of first i though what the hell they are the same distance apart. I got called for an out

a month or so ago I was refereeing FIRST Overdrive. we played a competition without G22 and i got so confused with scoring that i didn't know if bots were coming or going. the scores were totally off. I got home that night and there was a thread on CD with all the people responding in this thread complaining that the isn't a rule preventing teams from throwing off the refs count of robots and also complaining about the idiot referee who didn't know what he was doing throwing off all the scores like that.
Now i feel bad and i will never volunteer at an FRC event again.

Years ago I swam competitively I was swimming the 100m Freestyle and decided to play defense so half way through my second lap i made a left turn.



So moral of my story..

Thank you students of FIRST your tireless efforts of needing something anything to complain about has driven away more VOLUNTEERS than I could ever imagine, made so that if the GDC were as smart as i think they are they would just start releasing the same game every year so you can all just perfect your games instead of playing something new and inventive.

Thank you students of FIRST for killing what FIRST was/is, for making it work. for killing my passion.

Thanks
