Re: Is competing at multiple regionals REALLY fair ?
It seems to me like this thread has turned toward the 'you say' 'I say' kind of debate so I am not going to further that, however I will offer fuzzy some advice.
Fuzzy,
I am in my 8th year of "FIRST". My first 4 years were in high school, and the latest 4 have been through college as a mentor. I have been looking on these forums from sophomore year of high school on. There are some people on here who I have more respect for than anyone else in this world. I "grew up" reading the wise things these people had to say and the advice they offered to younglings like myself. Some of these very people are the ones you have been arguing with, and the ones opinions whom you have been dismissing. Try not and take these arguments personally (some of these great people can argue like its their job) and just stick to the facts. It is great to see you have so much passion for FIRST, but I really think you need to step back and analyze what is really angering you. As cory stated before, you are using what you are arguing against as support for what you are arguing for.
Hope it helps,
Brando
