Re: Should FRC Account for School Size?
I too must chime in with yet another "Nah...". I don't think its in FIRST's nature to discriminate how you compete against, particularly when resources are a larger determining factor than school size. Plus, what about the teams that aren't associated with a school? (Space Cookies 1868 are always the ones that come to mind)
Aside from all that, I think the organization of it would be a nightmare. Our home regional is the Bayou, which is fairly small and local. If we broke up by team size then there wouldn't be enough teams of the same size to support a regional and many would have to end up traveling (when they normally wouldn't).
