Go to Post Being in FIRST and putting the focus on the robot is like building a robot and putting the focus on the bandsaw (or mill or lathe, or whatever you do your machining with). The robot is a tool we use to play the game, the game is a tool we use to inspire and teach. - GeeTwo [more]

Re: pic: WFA Winners Talk FIRST

There is a reason (actually there are countless reasons) why the people who are WFA winners are WFA winners.

Stepping on soap box...

All the more reason why these people need to be recognized and better promoted within FIRST - such as having a WFA winner Wall in the Hall of Fame with a plaque and write up for each winner. These people are too impressive and have done too many exemplarily things to not be promoted more by FIRST as the true role models they are and should be to everyone who strives to be a mentor in FIRST.

Many of us have recommended and requested such a display in the Hall of Fame for a few years now (and a similar dedicated page on the FIRST web site), to no avail. I know there seems to be consensus for such a display amongst most here on CD.

My hope is that if we can get enough team members (AKA the FIRST customers) to urge FIRST to create such displays at the the Team Forums and in direct emails, then next year we may see the WFA and the winners be promoted more as the role models they are for everyone.

stepping off the soap box now.

Back to the discussion - Kudos to Paul (and all the other WFA winners) for, well basically, being who they are.
