Re: FRC Blogged-Standard District Point Structure

Instead of rewarding rookies for existing and hoping that will inspire them why don't we try this:

Encourage rookie teams to attend District Champs as spectators.

Hold events for them:

-Give some short seminars on several topics. Maybe a few mentors can cover this.

-Let veteran teams volunteer to adopt a few students from a rookie team for the duration of the competition so they can be in their pits and learn.

-Let them bring their robots and have them set up in a special "Rookie Section". Teams can then send students to the rookie's pits to go over their robots with them and suggest improvements.

These are just off the top of my head, but I think there are so many more ways we can inspire rookies that are much more beneficial then throwing them some points just because they exist.
