Plus, they're not forcing anything on us, they actually gave us a really easy way to earn points. They gave us a simple challenge, a base model for how to rise to it, and FREE kits of simple parts to put it together.
If you don't like it, just don't use it.

Its not a collective we, it is a my team (and many other teams) we. We don't do FTC. We don't want to do FTC. We do a much more cost effective program.
They stated many times during kickoff how being involved in FTC would be an advantage for teams. To me that infers that teams like ours who choose a different rout to inspire and bring younger students into the FRC team will be deliberately and intentionally at a disadvantage.
This isn't about a challenge in the game it's about politics pure and simple.
Trust me I'm not the only one who feels this way, although I will be one of the few who will voice my opinion.
