Re: FIRST is really looking into the Einstein problems

I am shocked and saddened by what happened. I think we all feel a little betrayed by this. As one of the teams in Archimedes, what we did was cheer on 1114 and the Archimedes champs because that's what FIRST is about. As a first year, I was excited about Coopertition and everything this organization had to offer. To have that be undermined by a hacker... Who would stoop so low as to mess with an alliance that had a rookie team and a potential double crown winner?! Or even to mess with the other teams?! Communication problems happen, but now paranoia will set in and every time there is one, teams will jump to conclusions because someone wanted to mess with a championship that was supposed to be the most exciting weekend of many of our lives. It'll be interesting to see how 2013 regional competitions deal with this issue - will teams still trust each other, or will they suspect that anyone with a computer or an iPad or a cell phone is a hacker? Will successful teams, who thought they'd been supported by the other teams, now distrust them because they think others are out to get them? I think anyone with half a heart is shocked and disappointed by what occurred. I remember watching Einstein knowing something was wrong, but out of my own trust in everyone there, not even letting the thought of intentional interference cross my mind. My heart truly goes out to those affected, especially 4334, 2056, and the Simbots of 1114. Hopefully future years will not be plagued by this issue and this wound can heal and we can move on, but many of the students hurt by this will be FIRST alumni before this happens, if it does.
