I did not say every rookie team was bad.

I am saying if a team wants to get into to this robotic game this year and have not signed up yet. They could raise the money now for next year. and they could go and watch the regional in there area and then they would be ready to do it next year.

About the game. Lets look at it. I can teach kids year round about robotics. and do it in a way so everyone can have fun. This is a game. just like a sport game but better here you use your head. If My team does not do well I lose funding. It is hard to sponsor a losing team. If you win the kids do get more into it. You can go on and on about how FIRST is trying to help everybody and I can go on and on showing you how they are hurting the game. If the game fails so does FIRST. There are more games out there and cheaper to go to.


Look I have always LOVE FIRST they have been doing a great job. I have gotten a lot of kids now into this field. I am just hoping they do not hurt themself
