FRC Blogged - FIRST Dean’s List Award – Update

[Kims Robot]

I'm not against this, but it seems like a really fast knee jerk reaction. Just like seeing the referees deliberate for 10 minutes at the end of a finals match - while nerve-wracking on the delay, makes me feel like they have taken a good amount of time to make the correct and appropriate decision, I sort of wish Frank had taken more than a weekend to release the "change of heart."

When Dean's list was introduced, we had something like 2 weeks to select our nominees and write essays, and we did it. This time we now have months and months of notice, and people are complaining that its not enough. Next year people will complain a year is not enough notice...

And Im waiting for the juniors to start whining that they are going to get caught in the mess because their seniors will be nominated this year, and next year they won't get the chance...

I hope Frank's openness doesn't continue to mean everyone that whines on CD gets their way, because there is a much much bigger community out there that this affects.

But 2015 implementation I suppose is a reasonable compromise that may at least quiet some of the masses of complaining.
