Re: [FRC Blog] Two Championship Survey Results and Path Forward
FIRST this is a total failure in my opinion.
I stated this to some of the FIRST HQ representatives while at champs this year who were telling me to go fill out the survey.
What is the point of even having a survey, if contracts were signed for the venues before the survey or even this idea was announced?
The survey would just capture how the community felt about the decision, not influence the decision at all.
Furthermore, when going to two championships, I've heard speculation of possibly holding an official event where both championships alliances compete to have 1 world championship, to possibly rectify a majority of concerns.
In my opinion, this doesn't rectify anything, and in fact unless FRC picks up the travel bill for the teams, it punishes the winning alliances because their season is now extended, and they will most likely need to re-travel to wherever this new event takes place.
2016, were going to be doing everything possible to earn our way to championships, its going to be the end of an era.
P.S. I did fill out the survey even though I knew it had no real effect on the decision. And this data looks manipulated to the point of uselessness.
