Unhappy think about who you are upset about

I think it was a perfectly fair thing for FIRST to do... People are just upset because they fear others are going to play the game to intentionally give negative points to others. That could happen to all situation... No matter what FIRST decide, some people will find some way to make the worst out of it. Teams could potentially do a lot of things to ruin the fun of the game... But I don't see anyone complain about those other things.

There's no reason to be upset about FIRST when all you are worrying about is others playing dirty and giving you a negative score. It's ok to be upset, just make sure you know what exactly you are upset about, and don't complain to the wrong person that have nothing to do with the things you fear: the dark side of human nature.

The whole point of the game is still to make sure you get as many points as possible, as well as your opponent... Otherwise you are just not playing the game right. If you choose to give your opponents negative points... Then I am afraid you got nothing out of the program, and you are just wasting everyone's time and resources participating in a program you got nothing worth while out of. The choice is your's.

I will have to agree with Bill and rbayer, simply because I know FIRST is really really busy once kickoff started, and they all their energy are spent in dealing with the kit of parts, and making sure the competitions happen they way they intend to. They will listen to teams all right, just when they setup a time specifically for talking to teams at team forum. During build period... I am pretty sure the FIRST staff ignor most complain people have that's not threatening the ideal of the competition.
