Rather than sitting here going at it, I would like to be thankful that FIRST is even getting 15 systems out to teams for beta testing. I don't know about you, but I know I will have enough documents to work with for next season as far as these controllers go.

p.s. - I understand that you are not liking the fact that the 1st and 2nd year teams aren't getting a chance. The only way to take initiation about this is to convince FIRST.
Arefin,

I apologize if it appeared that I was 'Targeting your views'. That was not my intent. My intent was to air my concerns about the way things re being handled in a constructive manner and to get a dialog started. It appears as if my constructive criticism was not taken as constructive, and for that I apologise.

It would be interesting to chart how well the teams that get the beta units against those who didn't and see if it actually gave them a distinct advantage or not.
