Cool return of da "S"

1) I agree that this is a bad rule, and I think FIRST will probably change it once they realize how much it affects teams.

2) lets b fair when criticizing FIRST. It's a stupid rule and needs to be changed, but sometimes we get so ticked that we just make things up which simply aren't true, such as:

Quote:
Im really looking to do Battlebots after this, Hey Dean thinks its OK so why not.
This is just ridiculous. ne 1 who knows Dean at all will tell you he has ZERO respect for Battlebots, wants nothing to do with it (as do most of us), and does not think it has any value at all. Dean has NEVER said he thinks BB's is OK, and I know we all know that. Just because Battlebots used footage of Dean, W/o his knowing or his permission, doesn't mean Dean thinks they are ok, it just shows how they operate.

Quote:
PS. Dont bother calling FIRST, anything you tell them will be "Taken under advisement" as they last told me when I called.
Again, while everyone seems to agree this is a bad rule, this statement is just not accurate. FIRST listened to teams more than ever this year - teams wanted head to head 2 vs 2 competition, teams wanted more motors, teams wanted electronics opened up, teams wanted more flexibility in parts like sprockets, gears, belts, and so on. Teams wanted remote kickoffs and regional team forums. FIRST made more changes this year at the request of teams than ever before. This is a bad rule, I agree. But just because they say "Taken under advisment" and don't use every idea you, me, or other people might give them does not mean they don't listen to teams - I think they listened a lot this year. So yea...that my 2 cents...
