Re: My case against <G14>
I, too, take issue with this rule. It just seems so contradictory to FIRST in so many ways. For one thing, it's FRC, FIRST Robotics Competition, and we're not supposed to compete, or we'll be punished? It is against the very fundamentals of the idea. Also, FIRST: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. Where's the inspiration when if a team has a good idea and implements it well, they will be penalized for it? Recongition? Of what? How well a team can hold back? It should be the inspiration for students to do their absolute best, with anything less being a disadvantage. The recognition should be of the most innovative or most effective ideas, not of how close the matches can be made when one side is given a handicap.
I, for one, don't understand why they put this rule in. Is this the new idea for "Gracious Professionalism"? I hope not...
