My Personal Thoughts...
While I don't have the "BB must fall" mentality of some FIRSTers I've talked to, BB still leaves a somewhat bad taste in my mouth. The few BB shows I have seen have shown to me that in most cases, the participants seem to put as much time and effort into their machines as we do ours. The "bad taste" that I get comes from the inability to justify putting that much time and effort into a project, when I know all the while that defeat means not only a hung head at the end of a day, but a box of parts to bring home, rather than the machine I arrived with. For those who can justify this, I wish them luck in whatever event they choose to participate in.
