: FIRST is taking all the fun out of this years game and making it an inept JOKE. This latest change will certainly make any rookie teams think twice about joining next year. As a third year veteran who finds this game a seriouse challenge I feel sorry for all the new teams who are walking a path that was so hard for us three years ago. If this was our first year I wonder if we would want to try again next year.

As the student captain of a rookie team I would like to inform you that we are not phased by the complexities of this year's game, but rather, feel they add an extra level of excitement and challenge to a competition that, up to this point, had begun to get redundant and predictable. In fact, we feel we are at an advantage due to the major differences in this year's game over those of previous years. While many teams are trying to adapt existing design philosophies to a different type of game, we are forming ours around it.

See you in Orlando,
