They didn't play the game how you would if liked, deal with it. Unless you have asked the GDC on how they'd like to see the game played, don't say it isn't in the spirit of things.

The monetary reward obviously wasn't the goal of that match, it was seeing if they could complete the challenge. If you want to complain that the reward influenced them, then you better get rid or all the awards FRC has other then winning a regional.

My problem here, is that i feel that instead of giving all they got to win the game, the teams decided to give all they got to pass the challenge. The 2 things don't line up, and contradict each other.
As a FIRSTer, i want teams giving all they got to win 100% of the time. Seems like here it didnt happen.
