Just because FIRST is not meant to be fair, does not mean that we need to go out of way to make it unfair.
I am not sure what they should call this new activity, but the kit of parts is long gone.

I don't like the rat race aspect, either. But I'll keep this system rather than going back to receiving a kit of parts consisting largely of items that we won't use. Having more choice in the system makes it possible to more efficiently allocate donated resources where they're likely to get used.
Consider it from a sponsor end, too - they can donate 80 or 800 of an item instead of needing to donate 2600, and they have a better idea that it's going to get used this way.
