If you don't like the product because of principles, then don't do a minibot on principle. The rest of us who aren't strong-armed into one program or another will enjoy seeing the minibots make it to the top.

Karthik, Cory, if I didn't respect you two so much for your technical prowess and general logical GP practices I would be hard pressed to hold back the tirade I could type right now.
Jesse it's not about FTC vrs VRC, I think FIRST's behavior and decisions fly's in the face of their stated mission of inspiration for purely selfish reasons. I (and judging form the many PM's I have received, many others) think they are acting in a very un-GP way.

Are you suggesting that I just not say anything and sit back and smile while the program that I love is corrupted?
