"Soviet"? Someone's still living in the Cold War
Soviet implies Communist, which isn't necesarily Russian anymore. Actually, though, now that I think about it, in some ways a communist team would be the perfect team. After all, isn't Gracious Professionalism all about treating everyone equal and giving them equal respect? Aren't the pits at FIRST competitions all about sharing your tools among the needy? Doesn't Woody make references to the FIRST community working as a collective whole for the good of the society by sharing knowledge and expierience amongst all members, rather than having the Community consist of a handful of good teams that try to dominate and supress all competition in order to be the 'best'?
...but communist philosophy is getting a bit off-topic. Back to the topic, yeah, a good ol' ruskie team would be pretty cool. I'm Polish, so I'd like to see some good ol' eastern europeans in FIRST.... /me awaits the Polish Robotics Team jokes to start streaming in
FIRST like life is what you make of it, if you would rather go through FIRST worrying about what other teams do to make their robots, then your destined for disappointment. if you go through FIRST making the most of it doing the best you and your team can then it doesn't matter what other teams do. - Mike Schroeder [more]
