NO. I agree with matt. In the 7 years iv participated as both student and mentor, i do not like the current direction of FIRST.
in 2006 i really thought the games were going in the right direction. 2008 had me SHOCKED and this year has me down right concerned. I think how FIRST handles next years game is going to be pivotal.
Im all down for GP and coopatition, but if FIRST keeps pulling the competitive side out, we might as well show up, get our awards and leave. I believe GP shown in a non competitive environment is called being a good person. We should teach how to show GP in a HIGHLY COMPETITIVE environment. Now thats something to be proud of...
My thoughts after week 1.
- robots all look the same...
- I think the bumper color change idea is horrible...
- scoring system is confusing and crazy...
- The laptop things? i wanna kick it...
- These penalties and rules are silly too
rant done
