Re: Google camera

Might I suggest something?

Don't say something in the Chief Delphi Forum that you won't say to the person in real life.

Are you willing to come to one of the west coast regionals, sponsored and supported by Google, walk up to their CEO or any of the Google Engineers who are helping with FIRST teams, look them in the face, and say "This is really crappy, give me something better".

Are you willing to gamble the reputation of yourself and your team because of something you should've think twice about before saying? Think about what you are saying here. Google has no reason to give anymore than what they already gave, and every reason to except our deepest thanks for the things they already gave. They didn't owe us anything when they decided to support FIRST, they did it because they feel it will provide a worthwhile, meaningful experience for you.

Tell them you don't want it, because they will gladly give it to someone else who might actaully benefit from it.

Think about that for a minute. And I expect you to do the right thing as soon as you thought about it.
