In hopes of NOT further charging what appears to be an emotional topic.
Reading thru the posts and my own feelings compel me to post. 1) At the Silicon Valley Forum this point was rasied and debated. We 'sorta' agreed (with dissention) that one adult may be a compromise. 2) As for adults putting in long hours and not being allowed on the field. Well seems to me there are more students in this situation than adults. 30-40 member teams (student members) understand not everyone gets to be on the field 3) Its part of this contest to change stuff every year. Limits on gears and supply and what electronics we can use. I hope FIRST sticks to its guns on this because its different. Change is good. 4) FIRST has always (in the four years I have been in this) told us who is allowed behind the glass. Two adults max in previous competitions. Only students driving... 5) As for students dismissing engineers at the end as no longer important. I doubt that its a general feeling in the FIRST community. Most teams adore thier engineers. Of course there are exceptions but overall I believe the students realise how important the adults are 6) And I do agree that this rule was created by last years 4 vs 0 when student coached teams *sometimes* were ignored by adult coaches. So I'm not sure if I helped any but at least I feel better. I bet it will still be fun this year Eric Stokely |
