In Reply to: I signed the petition, and here's why Posted by Ian Mackenzie on 05/09/2001 6:00 PM EST: Ian, I think your point is 100% on target. It gets at the heart of the issue - the fact that we can cooperate without being told to. 2v2 provides the right balance between excitement and unpredictability (i.e., a little "D" , yet allows teamwork (i.e., a little "GP" .Ken : Here is my main reason for supporting a return to 2 vs 2: : I agree that it is important for all the teams in FIRST to cooperate. However, I don't think that it is necessary to have 4 vs 0 to do so. Indeed, I think the great strength of FIRST is that all teams work together and help each other even when they are not forced to. : I see 4 vs 0 as almost a sort of gimmick which screams "Look at us! We're cooperative!", while not actually promoting any more cooperation than 2 vs 2. In the 'real world', competition and teamwork are both important; I believe that FIRST had found an excellent balance between the two with 2 vs 2 and has now overshot it with 4 vs 0. : -Ian Mackenzie : Team 188 |
