Re: Vote to change the format of FIRST.

Perhaps I cant change the mind of the OP about the current format of FIRST, but I will say this.
We raise arguably the most money of any FRC team and we are proud of it. If you saw where we come from, the hoops we need to jump through year round, and the amount of blood, sweat and tears, you might feel otherwise. This wasnt some 1 year project to get where we are now, it took us 10 long years.
Our situation is a committed choice and not something we influenced or tried to change in our favor.
Personally, I'm really not jealous of any good team in FIRST. I'm happy for them, and take a page out of their books to see how we can better impact our students in the future. The competitions are meant to inspire!
