I think BrennanB was totally spot on. And not just that, why is FLL and FTC still a side child? I really am in favor of them getting vastly more qualification spots. Though teams may still be inspired be and their best to win their FLL region competition, I'm sure they would love a chance to compete with the best of the best at worlds. I'm not too familiar with FTC so I can't speak on their experience in competition but I'm sure both programs would love and deserve to have way more spots at worlds. And if people want a current solution to both problems right now, I'll bring up what I brought up before. Make one venue FTC/FLL champs and one venue for FRC champs. Imagine how many more teams could qualify through FLL and FTC by doing this and how many more matches all their teams would get with drastically increased space for more fields. Everyone's talking about FRC like it's the only program that inspires people but its not. We take up so much space that FLL and FTC had to be booted from the dome just so we can still have them around. They deserve their own championships where they are not the side childs especially since they have to be victorious over way more teams than an FRC team. Getting to worlds is much much harder for those teams but seem to think FRC is the immediate problem.
