Go to Post One wondered why they couldn't practice in the gym that day - because the robotics team had it reserved was the answer. "Oh, we have a robotics team?" Sigh. This is a team with a low number. They've been around for at least a dozen years. There's still a lot more culture-changing to do. - GaryVoshol [more]

Re: FIRST Choice Sunday redux

I understand that people are frustrated, I am to. It's a frustrating situation for all of us, including those at FIRST and AndyMark, I'm sure. But honestly, I think they're doing the right thing, for the right reasons here. The site isn't working correctly yet. If they went ahead and opened it up, what would we have? Getting logged in and getting your stuff ordered would be a question of luck, like last year. People would feel like they got cheated out of what they wanted, like they did last year. In the end, everyone would be here complaining just like they did last year.

Instead, FIRST and AndyMark has made the decision that the process should be fair and as smooth as possible for everyone. In order to do that, they've had to postpone the opening twice. And what do they get for trying to do the right thing for all of us? People coming on here and complaining about what they're doing. Lets all take a deep breath, think things through, and publicly THANK those doing the work for trying to give us a great experience when it's finally open.
