The soul of FIRST and the virtues it lives should stay the same but they simply cannot. There are too many teams this year so FIRST had to make a decision on how to admit teams to nationals. I think what they did was perfectly reasonable. FIRST could have done something like, only the top four alliances at regionals get to go to Nationals and the award winning teams as well. This would allow a maximum of 255 teams to go. This would be ruining the spirit of FIRST, but by granting even teams admission, the soul of FISRT remains intact.
