Oh, its about recognition, dah!

l1jmx,
Sorry, I thought this was about INSPIRATION and what is fair! If the student built robots want recognition that is a different story. It should have it's own thread for people to comment on. I didn't know that the R in FIRST meant recognition of whom built the best robot, I thought it was meant to RECOGNIZE all the wonderful things that the fields of Science and Technology had to offer. I for one have always been amazed and inspired by the 100% student built machines - for the most part they have made me feel good about the students involvement and dedication to completing the FIRST experience.
If RECOGNITION is what you desire, maybe Raul is correct about divisions. At least that way the student built teams can compete against each other, and everyone else could continue the way FIRST was intended to be set up.
At least that way, the student built teams would have the focused attention and maybe the recognition that they think goes along with the FIRST experience.
Thanks for clearing up (at least in my mind) what the thread was about - I agree that fairness and recognition do not necessarily go hand in hand, but like I said earlier - I don't think thats the RECOGNITION that FIRST had in mind.
