I'd echo the sentiments that while the competition wasn't perfect, it still was a really enjoyable experience for our Team. Many times in the real world, companies don't "own" their mistakes and proceed as if they didn't exist. The fact that there was a plan of action to correct it (and admit it) says much more to me than the fact that the error occured. If you're waiting for perfect announcers, perfect fields and computer systems, and perfect anything, you're going to be very disappointed in FIRST, as in life. Try to enjoy yourselves and not take everything SO seriously. Dean says it's not about the robot, and that includes the field and competition.
