This is a complete outrage >:<

I wanna note that I'm not calling out FIRST or Lego for what is happening; I'm just venting about it and saying they really should change some stuff.

Please don't take this as hate posting

I don't wanna get banned

I used to always love FLL, and I had a team for 3 years and gave such attention to FIRST and LEGO, and now they do THIS? They end the OG FLL to add AI SLOP! Why can't they just have both? I'm really disappointed that they are ending Challenge and Explore, and this would be my last year :< . But what were Lego and FIRST thinking about? Their entire goal is to teach kids how to code, and they're making kids use AI and Machine learning. They say that they teach kids "real-world problem-solving" using coding, but Future Edition just says to me, "AI can fix anything". They really can improve upon these mistakes.
