I'm suprised with the number of posts that are bashing the game. Don't get me wrong, everyone is entitled to their opinion... but...

Your opinions aren't going to change anything this year. If you feel negative about the game, then you should write FIRST. Document your opinions, but don't spread your negativity to the rest of your team.

I'm staying positive and so are the rest of the TechnoKats. While people on other teams are bashing this game, were concepting the robot, building the playing field, and getting to know the kit of parts.

If our team let negativity about this game linger around, then we would be much less productive. People would be less excited about the jobs at hand.

So, move on... embrace this game. Drop the negativity.

This reminds me of a time when I was working as a co-op engineer at GE Plastics.

Some controversial issue came down from corporate headquarters, and many employees were mad and complained loudly. The issue, if you looked at it, had to be implemented, although it was not well-received. (bear with me, I'm getting to a relevant point)

After a couple of days, Jack Welch sent every employee a note that explained why this issue came about. At the end of the issue, he said:

"This issue is over. Get over it and get back to work."

Tough words from a smart guy. We got back to work. I suggest the same.
