Simple isn't always good...

Student on team #419, The Rambots, from Boston College High School and UMass Boston and Modern Assistance Programs, Inc.. 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? |
