Re: How We Deal With Change Is Up To Us
Jane, I agree completely.

Also, if those folks are going to complain so much, publicly, then why are they in FIRST? Sure we all have our gripes and such, but boasting about "Oh, this here bagging rule sucks" for example, is just not something I would expect from a FIRST Mentor.

I personally like what they're doing, especially allowing teams to bag their robots and bring them to certain events. For my team, there are many regionals in the area within driving distance of a few hours or so. I'd say that shipping a robot from Niagara Falls, ON to a destination two hours away, when you are going there yourself afterwards, is pointless.

I just hope that the volunteers can cope with the really packed schedules, and still maintain the environment of "professional fun" we are all used to.

-Nick

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
