I think many students and engineers miss the point about FIRST because they are unable to attend the NH kickoff. Dean wants this to be the biggest, most-exciting, technically-advanced, inspiratitional competition there is. period. As big as any sports contest.

The only way this will happen is when big companies open their pockets and hearts. When companies and communities understand the idea of a cooper-tition and strive to be the best. The best at inspiring young people. The best at sportsmanship. The best at building complex machines.

A team that built a robot that made it to the finals on a shoe string budget is great. A team that raised thousands, inspired their communities to support, and built a pretty good machine is OUTSTANDING!!!! Why do you think there is so much luck involved in winning the competitions. I submit that it is by design, to further emphasize the Chairman's Award.

I think there should be T-shirts printed for FIRST, 'It's about the Chairman's Award Stupid!!!!'

Every year our team is able to take a step closer to Chief Delphi, Bomb Squad, and a few other heavies... I am happy with the results, regardless of our standing in the 'robot' competition.
