Our team is a middle team. We has never been to worlds, and just last week was our first District Championship, and we were inspired by some of the greatest teams in the PNW, but not being able to see about half of the teams that can be considered "The Greatest of X year" if we ever made it kind of cheapens the idea of being able to go to worlds. Teams like us miss out on some of the greatest teams in the east coast and across the Atlantic, while the other misses the west coast and on. I always hear about how inspired people are when they go to worlds, with this teams like us may miss the wonder and inspiration one could get with this new system.
Personally, im not excited. As for the rest of my team, they are on spring break, and they wont know till i say something about it. If i were to guess, The mentors will be torn between more chances but less inspiration on how to be better, the more "there for fun" people will be happy to get out of school if we make it, but the ones like me who are here to build, learn, be inspired, and compete, they wont like this setup, as there is less powerhouse teams to talk to and learn from, it will be more middle teams (like us) and ones who kind of just are along for the ride.
