disillusionment.

[Matt Attallah]

Bill,

If you went to VCU last year with your team, we where paired up in the playoffs (we where team #5!) We had so much fun helping each-other, forgranted it kinda sucked (ok, ok, really sucks) that we didn't win, but that is some experience. And for the input you have put in, I have done the same. Any whim the robotics club has had, I have tried to fix it, or help out. I was a 2 driver for our arm for 2 matches at VCU, and that was it. I did some of the programming, but if you are in it for the regincion (kant spel) than you are in the wrong sport, or any sport for that matter. Always rember too, this is the saying i live by, Life isn't always fair. Forgranted, you are out of high school (I think) and you have your own life to take care of, but you shouldn't bash your team like that, your teacher, engineers, and other people. Imagine all the work they at least tried to do. Building this robot isn't the easiest thing to do, and on top of that, they have a REAL life to take care of. (Family, jobs, etc...) If it came between my family or FIRST, hopefully i would choose my family (FIRST has made me crazy...) You should step back and look at the WHOLE picture...

Matt...
