Your not alone with that, when I started FIRST in 2006; I felt the same way. Why do Poofs, RAWC, Pink, Beachbots do so good and kick our butts. They are so mentor built. WRONG OR RIGHT. They have a great offseason, great mentors to help create fantastic bots. I at first did think that they cheated and now I have come to accept the fact that those teams just rock. Itz kinda like sports, Yankees have enough money to buy the best players and the best equipment. But don't u want to beat those teams ever? What fun would it be if everyone was equally matched. I would like to take time and thank all the 6+ year veterans for making this competition so awesome and for creating killer miller bots. I really don't care if a group of engineers build a bot or students, I just wanna learn and have great build and offseason. Also I want to give back to the FIRST Community as much as I can.

2.75 Weeks left have fun teams,
Good Luck
