Re: FIRST's patents
I saw this on Reddit and /. just seconds ago and searched and found this discussion.

I just lost almost all respect I had for Dean and FIRST for doing something as pointless as this. I hope this patent gets overturned. No matter what he says, what he does, this does NOT help robotics. I can see the one day where FIRST goes from trying to beat other programs and legally hurting other programs because it can't compete in certain areas.


I give it a matter of years before everybody knows and has participated in FIRST...for all the wrong reasons.
