Oh boy. Don’t even get started.
At our middle school 2 or 3 of the 9 teams are primarily made up of members that have no knowledge for Vex, play video games during the robotics period and never once have showed up to any robotics related meeting after school, and never go to tournaments. All but one member of one particular team did not even go to a weekday event. You’d think people of that type would love an opportunity to skip school!
It has gotten to the point where the outcasts of the good teams have joined these teams in exchange for dedicated team-carriers like @BobbyfromJamaica. It is hard to believe that constant video gamers are competing under the same hood as teams like mine and one or two (or mayyyyybe 3?) others, who are seriously contending against experienced high schoolers.
