Let's try it...

In fact, you know that on many issues, I have been among FIRST's most vocal critics. But, like you, I am not just throwing rocks in order to break windows. We both believe in the necessity important changes in the direction that our country and culture is headed. FIRST can play an important role in making those changes. NOW, on to your particulars. I agree with you on many issues, perhaps especially the need to get FIRST to a purchaseable kit. My hope is that FIRST will swing a deal with Small Parts Inc to sell the stuff that is not available over the counter. As to changing the game each year, we are just going to have to agree to disagree. However, I am not an unreasonable man. In my opinion, the risks associated with trying a year of keeping the game the same pales in comparison to risks that FIRST took this year in changing the format as radically as they did. So, while I am not a big fan of the idea, if there is enough support for it among the teams out there, I would be willing to get behind a 1 year trial of the idea. There will still be exciting matches. There will still be new robot designs. There are worse games to repeat. It would be a good year. So... What do team think? Is it worth a 1 year trial? Joe J. P.S. I still have my doubts as to whether or not it will address any of the concerns Mr.B. has, but that is a message for another day. JJ |
