Mike, your arguments are off base. You're arguing against bad robots, not rookies. I know from your previous posts that you're not happy with the direction of FIRST, but don't insult rookies by saying they are (in general) bad. Wildstang was a part of the WM alliance that Wayne mentioned, and we were lucky to have 535 on the same alliance. They played a huge part in the 2nd place finish.
Rookie teams do NOT play the game at the expense of other teams. Many of the rookie teams, believe it or not, actually help alliances instead of hindering them. Everyone is at the copmetitions to try their best and to have fun. It's up to the veteran teams to recoginze that some rookies (and experienced teams) don't have as good of a robot and to help them when possible.
