Think of it this way, Sean. It's a dream. An idea for big dreamers. 20 years ago, did the original teams envision that in 20 years we would be talking about a space crunch for the Championship event? Were they able to envision a dome venue maxed out with fields demands and the space demands required for a big name band?
Even as a dream, isn't it fun to think of a place that would be established by the FIRST program but that others would love to use because of its adaptability, technical prowess and innovation, and awesome capabilities? Yes, that is a lot of fun.
It may be frustrating for those who want to problem-solve with a points system and removing 3rd alliance partners or the RAS qualification. I understand and respect that type of thinking but when faced with large problems, I always see it as an opportunity to dream big. Really big. There is never any harm in dreaming. Heck, I never dreamed I'd be involved in FIRST for as long as I have, much less watching it expand as it has in recent years.
I apologize to our OP for derailing this thread. Please go back to realistic problem-solving and solutions.
