Coach on team #639, Red B^2, from Ithaca High School and Cornell University.



As you all probably know, this is the 10th anniversary of the competition. That being said, what is everyone's favorite game to date?

My favorite, by far, is the 1999 competiton with the floppies and the puck. It was also my first year involved with FIRST, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Looking back upon the last couple years, I dislike more and more the major change of this year's competition - that everyone works together. Imagine how the competitions this year would be if it was 2 vs. 2... It would be unreal! And probably my favorite game to date. More importantly, however, I think a lot of students are less interested when you don't compete against anyone. Lots of high school students get really excited when they hear we're building a big robot, but loose interest when they find out there's no real competition. I simply cannot see the competitons being nearly as exciting as they used to be, either. Please bring back the good old FIRST games!

Patrick
