Re: 2013 Lessons Learned: The Negative

I'm ready for texas to move to a district system. There were so many great teams in texas that we never even got to see, such as the world champion texas torque, or the (expected champion) robonauts. If I heard right from an MC, Texas has the 4th most teams (142), behind California (216), Michigan (211), and Minnesota (181). Why shouldn't we and several other states have our own district system? It would make championships simple and easier. Which also means that championships should expand a bit. I believe in the 6 division system, which might be easier in the long run. There are lots of teams which don't get recognition, and are truly great.

However, FIRST truly did get everything else right this year. This is only a small complaint, as this season was challenging and exciting. Already looking forward to another good season.
