What makes champs great isn't the robots, it's the people. It's Karthik's presentation, it's talking to 254's students about their robot, it's a strategy discussion with Kyle Hughes, it's seeing old friends, it's meeting all of the passionate and dedicated students and mentors from all the teams you've seen on livestreams for the past few months.
And this decision will take that greatness and cut out it's heart. Champs brings everybody together, this will split it in two.

Thanks Antonio. The people of FIRST (especially the students) are what have kept me involved all these years. I know that makes this difficult, but Einstein said "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." This is a chance for new friends to be made and new role models to rise up. I don't think that's too bad.
