Regarding the word "coopertate":

"Lol nice blooper"

"it was said that way on purpose."

"Either way it's stupid."

Honestly, that one stung the most. This should be what we are most upset about, not misrepresentation.

IMDB messageboards are as much a cesspool as Youtube. Either their full of stalkers or trolls who think they know more about movies than anyone else. Don't sweat their opinions.

It's almost like FRC isn't a spectator sport and they had to add controversy and drama to make it at least somewhat interesting to the average viewer who probably doesn't give a crap about GP, coopertition, or even robots for that matter.

Now I'm not saying they made the best choices of how to add drama but even with what they added, it seems people thought it was a snore.

Well, you have to admit. If you're looking for drama, an FRC team IS the place to be!

You hang around FIRST long enough you hear stories that make what happened on The Fosters pale in comparison.

The show's writers could have had teams sabotaging opponents' robots, bribing the inspector, and punching the referee (and opponents mentors). From what I've seen in a few episodes, that would be totally within the behavior norms for characters in this show.

FIRST could well have been portrayed in a disgustingly horrible light (at least for us).

Except the FIRST advisor to The Fosters would simply not allow that to happen!

I know what you mean, but every person (even internet trolls!) is a possible FIRST supporter. Perhaps I'm too optimistic. Someday...
