Re: The Rest Of The Best

So here is the real problem: The team lottery and teams who just "buy" into worlds. If you wanted to make worlds just "the best of the best," you would remove these ways into the competition. However, this is not what worlds and IMHO what FIRST is about. FIRST is about inspiration. Is it more important for upper level teams to be inspired by other upper level teams? Or is it more important for those smaller teams who can't "win on the field" to see what can be done if you exploit the resources you have effectively? I know what my personal answer would.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
