That's nice, but if they cant't do it, or they're not planning on doing it, you're out of luck.

some of us forget what FIRST is really about, its not just about building robots but also about working together to make sure everyone improves and making science and technology a culture in the world.
Actually, the autonomous points ensure your team isn't just building a robot that will do well in teleop.
Of coure, im not bashing FIRST nor its goals, but a coopertition ramp is not what makes science and technology a culture in the world. And again, im not saying remove coopertition; rather, make it a separate tiebreaker.
