Re: What percentage of FRC teams should attend championships?
My team hasn't been to champs the entire four years I have been on it. That being said. I would be just a tad disappointed if I went to champs without being deserving of it.
I honestly think that the 25% mark is way too high. This is the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS after all. This is where the best of the best compete in a much higher scoring matches that make for much greater excitement.
The point being, not every team can be "the best of the best" once every four years. That is, after all, kind of the point of being in that fairly exclusive group of teams that regularly perform at a higher level and regularly win.
Of course, FIRST has it's own view of what champs NEEDS to be, and it may just be be the best course of action. Maybe it WOULD be a good idea to reserve our absolute best of the best competition to IRI. It's all about what you think champs is meant to be.
I PERSONALLY think that championship competitors need to be capped at the 600 level that we have now, and as the program grows it should simply be harder to get in and a more valuable experience. Whatever percentage that is, that would be the percentage.
