Re: After Coming Back From The LA Regional: My Thoughts On FIRST

Picking of alliances is similar to professional sports drafts. You pick a player who you think will work well with your team, whether or not that player is the highest ranked or not.

And the atmosphere of sporting events is far beyond just what goes on the field/court. The cheerleaders, announcers, team mascots, gimmicks at time-outs or halftime, music, singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game", etc - what does any of that have to do with the game? It doesn't, but it makes the whole experience into entertainment. That's also one of the goals of FRC. Sure, sometimes things go a little overboard or get sappy. But a FRC competition isn't meant to be like a symposium reading engineering papers either.

Sorry if the event didn't meet your expectations. But were you at all inspired during the whole season, from kickoff through build to competition?
