Re: Lettering in FIRST

I don't believe that a Robot team should get a Varsity letter. Personally if I letter in any of my other sports, I don't even know if I will get a letter jacket. All that it is really coming down to is being recongnized for what you have done. Thats footballs way, soccers way, basketballs way, sports that HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD!! A first team is about bringing Robotics into the community, not having a pin to show off. I feel that walking through my school and having a person say "Hey you were in the paper for building some Robot or other" is far more rewarding than showing people you built one. Building the robot and seeing it run with only my team is reward enough,

I need no jacket! But what do I know, I'm just a freshman...
