My thoughts of FIRST

[yelly]

In response to your comment about a lack of enthusiasm at the Peachtree Regional, I would have to agree. Sadly, my team was probably one of the biggest culprits. You'll probably agree. Obnoxious guys (and one talkative blonde girl) with a video camera and a robot that was quite moody? We had on blue shirts. Anyway, I'd like to apologize for my team's behavior. I realize that the way they/we acted (completely unenthusiastic and almost with an attitude that... perhaps they didn't want to be there.) I tried.. but it's slightly difficult to cheer when your teammate's look at you like you're from another planet when you do. We're fun kids, and we're not brats, and we love FIRST... but I don't know what was going on with us at the competition. Anyway, I'm sorry that our lack of spirit may have caused other people to have less themselves.

I will say though, being a member of a team in the *cough* coveted 42nd position... everyone was extremely helpful towards us, offering advice and whatnot because we lack an engineer and most tools. It was greatly appreciated, even though we may not have shown that well enough. Maybe next year we'll find ourselves some more resources, and more importantly, we'll demonstrate the spirit of FIRST a little better.
