Remember Why You Participate in FIRST!

[Sperkowsky]

Being I know what your referencing I am going to remind everyone in this thread of one thing.

A lot of times when these teams get so focused on winning its because they have never done so.

The person who started this thread just won RAS with his team.

The second poster was a district finalist at their first event and on a team that constantly makes champs

The third poster (Boltman) is not on a team that consistently makes champs and he brought up some valid points.

The fourth poster won their first event

The fifth poster has not competed yet but were finalists in 2015 and won in 2014

The sixth poster is from team 33 nuff said and he raised some more good points

The 7th poster just won NYC congrats by the way

The 8th poster is from a rookie team that has not competed yet so, I do not know his/her history

and lastly the 9th poster already were finalists this year. Won EI, and chairman's on the regional level and EI at CMP.

The reason I just listed all of those out was not because I love scrolling around The Blue Alliance (Which I do) but, more because I want to raise the point that people have to take a step back when they read threads of that nature. When your from a team that constantly performs well a win may not win as much as when your on a team that is more recently successful. Either way there are some very good points raised this threads. I specifically agree with BJC and that is coming from a team that has been on Einstein 7 times.
