Go to Post Success to me is a feeling that is associated with achieving something you truly worked hard for; something that you can look at and say "That's my best work." - OneAngryDaisy [more]

I don't see it getting ugly. There is no name calling or flaming. There is two different viewpoints, and even understanding that they do it differently, "if that's what it takes for your team to make it and your team is okay with that, then that's great"


One is that FIRST students shouldn't have to spend a lot of time fundraising. They don't see going door-to-door to fundraise, or coming up with money from their own pocket is not a good way to get students and the community excited in science and technology and takes away from homework time.

Another is that FIRST is not just a robot building competition and that it is also a business competition to follow the 'real world'. Research\project funding can be hard to come by, and this is a taste of what is to come and preparation for it.
