Speaking for 2851 Crevolution a rookie team out of michigan, we noticed this issue and decided we better work a little harder. FIRST officials call 2771 a rookie thus they are a rookie end of story.

Dose this mean other rookie teams might have to work a little harder to keep up? Yes

Should 2771 give back thier awards? H3ll No!
those students put in hard work to win nomatter if they competed last year or had never even seen a FIRST comp before.

I think some of us are missing the big picture, it is just a game we play to further our students excitement and learning potential.

Is it cool to win? H3ll yeah
Is it cooler that students have pride in themselfs, in thier team? H3ll yeah

This issue should have been handled with more class and discression, these are just kids. Don't try to put an * on thier accomplishments.

I wish 2771 the best of luck at states, we'll see ya there.
