Also, you just pretty much declared FIRST useless! Cheers!

If you don't take the time to READ what I wrote, ALL of it, then I won't waste my time.

I didn't say FIRST was useless, I said that I could build a robot, that would be competitive, using materials provided by FIRST, WITHOUT using engineering process. I said NOTHING whatsoever about relation of that to FIRST, likelihood of teams to do that, or any such thing.

Now, would I do that? NO!!!! That's because the engineering process tells me that unless I build something better than a boxbot, I'm going to get creamed. And then I use the same engineering process to build a robot.

I would suggest reading the full post before replying, in future.
