As for I having seen FIRST cripple other organizations? I have worked with a few small organizations and robotics competitions in which FIRST has not been the "gracious professional" that everyone by default assumes, but that is not something FIRST will admit to and something the people behind these other small organizations will not speak of.

I do not care how it is worded I know from experience that people will dig through your rules and regulations and call a lawyer to find the smallest mistake or loophole. For either side. And with the way people in power usually behave, whatever their intentions may be, I don't believe that everyone can be a winner. There's too much at stake for FIRST. Whether it is tomorrow, ten years from now, or twenty-five years from now, I'll still be watching out.

From what I have seen and what I have been involved I still stand by my statement.

Pavan,

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with these posts. You are accusing FIRST of both past wrongdoings and the intent to commit future wrongdoings in a public forum without presenting any evidence whatsoever.

While you of course have the right to have and express your opinions, please realize that the manner in which you are choosing to express them reflects negatively upon yourself and the groups with which you are affiliated.
