Re: Frank Answers Fridays - Expanded Championship

Often the teams that get inspired the most by champs are the ones that don't earn their way in.

A team with a strong program that can build a robot that wins a competition, or win The Chairman's award can get a little from champs, but it's the teams without those strong programs that will be inspired and take home the most. I have seen teams get in on the waitlist, and come back the next year with a completely revamped program and a much better robot than they had ever fielded before.
