I can't describe how disappointing this announcement is.
Based on the geographic assignments outlined in the FAQ section, basically I won't be at a World Championship with the incredible teams on the West Coast and Midwest / Mountain Region ever again.
FIRST claims they are doing this to give more kids "the Championship experience." What is the Championship experience exactly?
For me, it's seeing the best robots and learning from those teams from all over the World. That's it.
Now I won't see half of the best teams and instead will see more average teams. I'm sorry but that ruins the Championship event for me.
2 Different sets of World Champions that never play each other? Multiple Chairman's Award? I agree with Adam. Lets just call every event a World Championship and be done with it.
In other news, everyone leaves with one of these!
