I agree to everything matt says (I think we had this same conversation in the chat room before)

Patrick

: We constantly seem to be saying that we need to do
: this and this to appeal to the general public and the
: media. And the question that I keep thinking of is,
: why? Why do we need to appeal to the media? We're
: here to do our competition. Not one that's hand
: tailored for the media. Not one that will appeal to
: the general publics desire for violence. There's a
: reason that we're not Battlebots. We don't want to
: be! FIRST has done fine without very much media
: attention for the past ten years. And I have a
: feeling that we'll do fine without much media
: attention for the next ten. I understand that media
: attention is good but I don't think that we should
: change anything to pander to the media (this includes
: putting media platforms at the main stage blocking
: everyone else's view, but that's another rant). We
: don't need to change the game so that the media will
: be more interested. We don't need to make the game
: less complicated for them. We are what we are and
: changing for the media will destroy who we are.

: Matt who feels that spending time pandering to the
: media is wasted
