Granted, FIRST is about fun and inspiration among students, and even engineers.

That said, winning is fun, Disney World is fun, and team parties are fun. I don't blame people for a moment when they are a little angry about this situation.

I like the build time, but really, the carrot for a lot of teams is the game in Florida. Lets face it, working in a machine shop till 9 every night is fun, but being surrounded by thousands of people who love this thing as much as you do tops it all.

Chances are, team 95 wont be going to Florida unless we turn out a really good ''bot and win some awards.

But is that a bad thing? It will certainly motivate me to work even harder and assure that our team gets it's shot at success. In the long run, I think were going to see an increase in the quality of the 'bots, just like having 6 weeks instead of 8 makes us work harder and in the end, turn out a better product. This is just another challenge from FIRST for us to overcome, I have no doubt teams will rise to it.
