FTC has 100 total teams: 50 teams each in two divisions. I'm suggesting four divisions of 50 each for 200 total.
I'm not sure it's necessary to equalize FRC bids with FTC bids; deciding what's equal would depend on whether you want to equalize space, percent of teams qualifying, total number of student members qualifying, etc. But I do feel that FTC's piece of the championship pie seems too small compared to the size of the program.
Edit: and I can only imagine how FLL teams feel...
