FIRST is about inspiring young budding engineers and it has done an amazing job thus far. I would propose a simple adjustment to make it even better.
*** All regional finalists are not allowed to pick each other again in subsequent regionals in the same season. ***
1. This promotes diversity so that teams can learn a more diverse set of teammates and as we all know, diversity foster innovation.
2. Younger, less established teams get more opportunities to learn from veterans and super-teams on the field. This is priceless.
3. From a fans viewpoint, it is more exciting to see a wider variety of alliances. Just watch F1 between 1114/3161-led red team and 2056-led blue team in the GTR west this year. It was riveting and exciting. It's this kind of excitement that brings us back every year.
4. It enables more REST of the BEST teams to get into CMP and reduce the need for a waiting list.
5. It is a small tweak that is more likely to be assimilated into the system. Simple is good.
What do you think?
