okay people......Lets be honest this is a fight that can not be won. I have been watching this thread hoping that it wouldn't turn into a "my robot is better than yours." While I am fine with some debate but lets keep it civil.

In FIRST and in Life people are very passionate about the things that they have done, and it can be one of the worst possible feelings for someone to say that you have done worse than you feel. A few years ago I adopted the mentality that your robot is only as good as you feel about the work you put into it. Trophies are made from plastic but the feeling of pride when you accomplish a goal is made from something much deeper that you can forever take with you. Remember while it is nice to have a string of 100 victories or a Hall of blue banners that isn't what is REALLY important.
