 I don't think it's that big of a deal if FIRST makes a few mistakes or cuts back every now and then. Personally, I'm just glad I have the opportunity to be in this program. - Crop-Circles [more] |

Re: Has FIRST Crossed the Chasm?
Great post.
I have one question: What is the purpose of FIRST as it grows larger: to change to match the expectations of the mainstream or to try and change the mainstream to match FIRST's expectations? (i'm picking gracious professionalism (GP) because it is the most important aspect of FIRST to me.) Would you see the unadulterated expression of GP in most larger scale non-FIRST competitions? Would it be o.k. for there to be fewer expressions of GP if that means reaching a larger audience? Change is good. Critical analysis of your practices is a must. Change that is not driven by your core values to appeal to the masses is a sure path to mediocrity and failure.
