If you don't like the product because of principles, then don't do a minibot on principle. The rest of us who aren't strong-armed into one program or another will enjoy seeing the minibots make it to the top.

Karthik, Cory, if I didn't respect you two so much for your technical prowess and general logical GP practices I would be hard pressed to hold back the tirade I could type right now.
Ummm, my posts in this thread have been about how 148 & 217 didn't have a hanger on their robots during the 2010 competition season. I also commented on how I enjoy Cory's blunt statements. ("I have no desire to watch a battle of who sucks less." I thought this was hilarious) Nowhere did I mention VEX, VRC, FTC, minibots, competing products or anything else. I've included links for your reference.

So if you respect me so much, please consider not putting words in my mouth. I have no problem standing behind the words that I've actually spoken, I have a hard time doing the same with ones that are being conjured out of the over active imaginations of others.
