There are some pretty negative comments. I encourage everybody to post their positive experience with FIRST/Radio Shack/Lego/Vex (in no particular order) in order to dispell these rumors.

There are always negative comments when FIRST shows up on Slashdot. You get old members who are disgruntled about engineer built bots making the competition unfair or not really a high school competition, but a competition among corporate engineers. Others have diffrent complaints, but that one has always flaired up into big flames.

Slashdot has always had trolls and always will, but don't bite at ignoramus.
