Totally agree with this post. The reality of the trickle-down CMP qualifying hasn't hit me yet, but once it does I think it'll make competition in Ontario much more fun. Having been in FIRST since 2003, the idea of anyone but 1114, (excellent robot), and (24th-best robot) qualifying for champs on robot performance seems totally alien. It was discouraging trying to build a better robot, knowing that every improvement that takes you above 24th-best is likely to decrease your chances of CMP participation.

Combined with the blue banners brought home by travelling Ontario teams like 610, and Canada/Ontario should be very well represented at CMP this year :-)

Nothing in this post should be taken as a knock against 1114 and 2056. They're free to be unstoppably awesome each year, and now the rest of us in Ontario can also be rewarded for our intermittently-stoppable awesomeness too.
