Re: G.P. in the "Real" World - What Would You Do?
Nice point, but a F-1 car costs multi-millions. Also, F-1 has the rule of NO tire changes, FIRST doesn't have a rule of no RC changes, so I wouldn't see a huge deal. F-1 also does not promote gracious professionalism. They are "tough nosed" competitors. When I went to IMS last year for F-1 quals, David Coultard wrecked, McLaren built a wall of tires in front of their garage so NOBODY could see in...now if a FIRST bot would break you would see TONS of people from different teams getting in on helping out. My main point with this is, FIA and F-1 are nothing like FIRST...I can see how you can compare the two...F-1 teams make money for winning...lots of money. So I honestly don't blame them...Ferrari, Jordan and Minardi teams did nothing wrong while competing in the USGP, they came to do a job and they did it...14 other teams did not....

"FIRST is not about getting as little help as possible - In fact, it's the opposite- the goal is have to make you feel obligated to thank as many people as possible for helping you in ways that you didn't really think you needed or even considered that you could use help." - boomergeek [more]
