Anybody really dis-like the game?

I understand that but if I put a box on wheels out I wouldn't be too inspired by it. I would be inspired by seeing 1114 dominate the field last year though. Frankly I am sick of the argument that FIRST has to cater to the low resource teams and make them equal to the great teams out there. FIRST is an organization for us to SHINE. <G14> is little more than an attack on great teams, it is saying that if you are an elite team against a team that can barely move you are to be penalized for success. Apparently FIRST doesn't want teams to be performing at their best.

And you can do a lot of pretty awesome stuff using nothing more than some hand tools.
