This is true... and I'm factoring that more into my thinking on this...

THIS is true too, as my own team greatly benefited from being the 24th robot in our rookie debut in 2011 going on to WIN with 16 Bomb Squad and 148 Robowranglers... I don't think our present trajectory would be as steep if we didn't get the opportunity to experience the "rush" of the Regional-WIN and then the awesomeness of CHAMPIONSHIP competition...
I think I'm warming-up to this District Model thingy...
