Go to Post At this rate, Team Update #2 should just eliminate the Minibots and replace it with the drive team captains playing rock-paper-scissors to determine the bonus points. - artdutra04 [more]

I have a feeling that this issue will be debated untill the end of time around FIRST areas.

But The great thing about FIRST is that sometimes the teams with money still get there butts kicked by the under funded underdogs.

Our sponser BAE Systems is a great sponser and gives us lots of support. But still my First year on the team we came in 31 outta 33 (2000) at the UTC regional. Getting killed by some underfunded teams with a lotta heart.

Last year is another great example, while doing demos at the Boston musuem of science last year i had a chance to talk with the Northeastern Team lead (Team 125 National Champs Last year) Who get almost no funding or support from the college and they were the National Champs.

So i agree that FIRST might not be fair, but i still believe that anyone can win.
