Re: Thoughts on CoOpertition

All I am trying to say is make it a sport, like its supposed to be.
I think you are right.....if Dean wanted it to be like other sports. My take, based on the years he spent on the patent and theory, is that he absolutely did not want it to be like other sports (speaking only of the qualifying matches). I agree that is somewhat in conflict with his statement about making it a spectator sport but if you look long range and think that people might actually understand this system then you could possibly imagine they might enjoy watching this strategy game as much, or more, than a "win-loss" game.

Dean looks long range....and he is also about change. Changing the "win-loss" mindset. I think that he has expressed that in a lot of ways through FIRST.

Imagine a robot like the HOT BOT, a robot that can easily score from the mid-zone. It's early in the game, score 4-2, HOT BOT grabs a ball and turns to shoot. At its own goal, of course. Late in the same game, HOT alliance up 10-4, HOT BOT grabs a ball and turns to shoot. Where? In a "win-loss" game, there is no question. In Dean's game, its a strategy decision for HOT and its alliance.

I'm not advocating right or wrong. I will say that I enjoy all the discussion and opinions about the system. It makes me look forward to next year's game (which will be different) and next year's scoring rules (which may or may not be different) and watching how teams play the new game and score using the new rules (if present).
