Ray, thank you for your insightful analysis. As I indicated in the posts about the problems surrounding the Israeli Regional (
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...793#post938793), our FTA and support staff worked tirelessly to resolve issues. We could always move backwards to a simpler system; but that system cannot offer the processing power available in the cRio. Challenges are what FIRST is all about. We all have to accept the challenge and move forward; we will be better for it.
We do a disservice as mentors if we simply complain. We must inspire our students by showing them how we rise to the challenge and solve the problems we face.
