The spirit of FIRST?

[Zeinin]

hmmm


i dont really play to win myself.. i play to have fun and to be proud of my efforts regardless of the outcome...


for instance, this winning mentality has really sealed off alot of good ideas from making it onto our robot. i honestly dont exspect us to win, but i say that if we have a well built, off the wall system that does somthing that no one exspects but it works, we could win one of the engineering awards.. but nooooo... everyone is so concerned about winning that it just takes the fun out. this puts people into this thought process like this: is it good enough to win? should i bother to make it better? and bam, with a mentality like that, we get a robot with zip ties as a major sturctural componant...
