Go to Post That is why I think that the Chairman's Award is better. You can have a great robot and something weird happen to your alliance and you are out. If you have a great team and win the Chairman's Award you are in the Hall of Fame forever. - WEHickok [more]

work harder

This is a looooong thread and took me forever to read it, now I can post my $0.02. There are many comments about high budget teams and stuff. Well, my opinion is that we don't know what goes on in every team! There may be some high money teams with a crappy robot or a low budget team with a terrific robot. Its not all about money. and its not the teams fault for having a lot of money, I'm sure they worked hard to get that money, saying that I mean you have to work hard for you money, if you want to become one of those high budget teams, get some money. If I were on a team with a lot of money(which I am not) I wouldn't decline lots of money because its 'unfair to other teams', I would take advantage of it, wouldn't anybody else??

And in reply to the person that suggested that FIRST be divided up into divisions based on ability, that idea is ludicrous. For one, what would the crieria be?? Who would judge and how would they know how a particular robot is going to perform? They definitely can't judge by previous years. Now that in my opinion would be unfair, because I would love to work with a variety of teams, even if it means getting my butt whooped I would want to work with the really good teams.

Well thats my $0.02, (maybe $0.05 but who cares )
