Re: "We Are the Champions" and GP?

If everyone's opinions and interpretations of the song are relative, then it's impossible to expect everyone to come to an absolute, either "black or white" stance on the song. And trying to pick single lyrics out of a song doesn't do any good.

It's like looking at a robot at a competition who is definitely in the running for the Engineering Excellence award, and then deciding that because they used X kit item instead of custom fabricating their own, that they aren't worthy of the award. It's issues like this that one must look at the whole picture, to see the integration, purpose, and/or excellence of the entire thing.

Just because there is one small object which one may have issues against, doesn't mean they didn't carefully calculate and engineer out the entire assembly. Who knows, the one small part which one may have objection against may have been exactly what they needed to complete the assembly as a whole, in the most efficient manner.

I think at this point, the thread has come to the level of "Let's all just agree to disagree", and move on to more important issues. After all, the FLL and FTC seasons kickoff in only a few weeks, and I'm sure there are teams in your area which would love to have additional mentors.
