Re: COTS: How far should it go?

No Foster, I was not referring to you or your post in any way. It's not about you........ really.

Thanks for setting me straight (he says tongue and cheek), now I get it. The 15% are the enlightened ones. Obviously intellectually superior to the rest of us. You must be republican?

Yup, I can see it now. Two championships, one for the modified bots (race car reference) and one for non purchased robots.

Nationally we have finally figured out that you cant fix education by lowering the bar. I hope FIRST doesn't experience the same painful cycle.
