Yeah, there's been 2 articles in the past two years about our team, and reporters always get things wrong. No matter how well you explain it, they just don't get it. They try to compress what you say into a few sentences to spark interest, but end up missing the point in the process. For example, the headline in our article this year was "Robotic Freedom." What in the world does Robotic Freedom have to do with FIRST? Also, we explained that you could win awards to get points to go to nats, and she talked to one of the members on our spirit team about the spirit award. Well, in the article she made it sound like you got qualifying points for spirit. *Sigh* I guess FIRST is one of those things you can't really understand unless you've expirienced it. And, btw, the competition isn't enough, you have to expirience those six weeks too, and reporters will never get that.
