It'd be nice to see some of the impressive teams that didn't qualify be able to go.

A prime example of this is Aces High (176). Anyone who has seen them at competition knows that they have an amazing, well-rounded robot. Their autonomous mode works extremely well, and they have been a competitive force to be reckoned with both times I've seen them (UTC and BAE).

The fact that this great team, and their amazing robot hasn't qualified for Nationals, and therefore will not be attending, is in my mind, proof that the system still needs some tweaking.
