Re: Texas UIL State Championship Qualification Information
3481 is a diverse team with a good amount of non-UIL students (private school and home schooled) in addition to our Northside ISD UIL-eligible students.
I guess we're NOT eligible for the potential UIL recognition because we're a _mixed-bag_.
AND I guess we're relegated to one of the ten "wait-list" openings.
Am I the only one who thinks this sucks?
A student is a student--period.
What we're doing here in Texas competition robotics is creating a class-system of first-class teams and second-class teams.
HOW that's _better_ is beyond my ability to comprehend and either my brain is much smaller than the big-brains that put this together or _maybe_ those who did this may be blinded by the supposed BIG team numbers growth this will supposedly spur, and that may happen, but _excluding_ ANY Texas FIRST student from _anything_ as if they're second-class is NOT something we should be doing.
