Programming hasn't been one of the most challenging aspect of the competition, and I do agree that there should be some 'upgrade' into it. But I would still hesitate to see more emphisis on the programming.

This competition has been more emphisis on the mechanical side of engineering, and because the robot is a pretty big thing to build, it can easily involve a team more then 30 person, and that's why it is such a valuable teaching experience to many people.

But programming has been a job for couple of person for our team, and I can't imagine any more than that can work on the program, as most of the work take some brain power to crank out codes. If there are more emphisis on this, then it will mean more work for those paticular students, and not necessary more learning experience for the entire team.

After all, the spirit of FIRST is still education for many students through out the country, not small groups of people purly aiming for winning...
