I don't understand why people even bother to hate and complain. Your seriously just wasting your time. Simbotics went 66-3-2. I'm not gonna lie, that is an amazing record/season. One day I hope to get to that point, but until then I'll just admire awesome teams such as 1114 and work harder to reach that point.
I think we as FIRST robotics team should move on and create stronger teams. Personally I admire how much effort teams such as 1114/217/148/254 and there are others put out year to year. I'm sure there were a ton of roller and lift changes when 148 tossed out their promo vid. But didn't that help teams? I know we took a good look at our roller and we didn't switch to the "pinchy" roller but we did make ours loads better.
Instead of calling their designs and strategies cheating, shouldn't we be striving to create better robots, teams and programs? Through out the years I've learned, that because of teams such as the IFI group that my team has gotten better. We have more sponsors, more resources and a better program due to these elite teams. I for one hated this group earlier cause they were unfair to the rest of us, but how wrong I was. For once, I'd like to say thank you for making FIRST more competitive.
Just food for thought.
