Go to Post Its not really a robotics competition. The robots are merely vehicles used to make society a better place, and to inspire the youth of the world to help one another, and to become more united. - Amanda M [more]

Hosting a competition of our own i totally understand what you are saying but the reason we compete in off season events as i perceived them is not to compete with the robot and win it all but to support other teams within FIRST. Our comp is one of our teams major fundraisers and it brings awareness to first and really does present great learning opportunities to the rookies and other students. On Nov 15th we will be bringing 23 Members to Ramp Riot most of which are rookies. I just hope that my team isn't being perceived as a team that competes for the sake of competing.
I completely agree with Dave. I am a sophmore and drove over 100 matches my freshman year it was very competeive but the more I participated in FIRST the more I realized it wasn't about all the competing, it was what I was learning. (I learned a lot too. Just ask Cliff or Dave about drill motor brushes.) Going to Ramp Riot was a huge successs for our newbs too. We had them doing everything from rankin, basic scouting, to batteries to robot repair and preperation. I have never seen a bunch of rookies learn so quikly and enjoy what they were doing. To me that is the biggest part of FIRST. Teaching, and having others learn For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science, and Technology.

I know this post may be late for the threads last post but I just registered and I figured I would say it anyway.
