Outside of districts, nearly 75% of teams attend only one event. Until districts become universal, yours isn't a unique situation. |
An avarge of 30 teams in the israeli regional from year 2005, thats 30 * 10 = 300 robots.
only 1 of those robots was in 2 regionals, it's 99.67% of the robots in israel that only compete once.
If 75% of the teams are participating in 1 regional, statisticly 14% of them are in week 1, and they have a choice(altruogh some for sure have problems with that too).
Does my efforts count less?
I gave everything for the build season and the preparation earlier, why should it end that way?
My team grows and does great work growing to become champions somewhen, we were very close last year if someone checked it out,
but together with trying to do our best we will keep the criticism to try getting FIRST forward.
