I understand your frustration, but seriously FIRST is more about Gracious Professionalism and Inspiring than building the best robot.

With all due respect, Andrew wasn't referring to you. There's a distinction to be made between those who failed on their own and those who failed attempting to nuse the kitbot. It sounds like you did the former.
What I believe he was saying is that if you can't make a kitbot run, you
probably couldn't have succeeded too much in inspiring your own students to engineering. By deciding not to use the kitbot, you opted out of his example entirely.
I apologise if I misunderstood or misinterpreted anything.
