In Reply to: PUSH to Simplify the Game for 2002 ***Attention FIRST ***
Posted by Andy Baker on 04/19/2001 11:31 AM EST:



I agree that simpifying the game would make
FIRST a more media friendly competition but what
would WE get out of it? Sure, I'd love to be the
center of attention, especially on tv's nationwide
and such. Who doesn't love to be on TV? But by
"dumbing" the game down, we aren't challenging
ourselves and its not fun anymore; it might actually
make it worse. If the game was so simple, any
idiot could join a team and participate inorder to go
on the trip to Florida.

But I think that by making the game complex and
difficult, it really shows which team members are
dedicated and genuinely interested in participating.

Also, as Dean Kamen stated during closing
ceremonies, "we shouldn't compare ourselves to
sports." Its what makes us unique, if we were just
like any other sport (if not the same by replacing
the players with robots). Where would the diversity
and interest be in that? In other words, by
branching away from sports, its what makes FIRST
so special. I like it the way it is and I enjoy the
complexity cuz it'll "make ya think harder." Be more
creative and innovative. Isn't that the goal of FIRST
anyways?
