Sorry, I guess I forgot to add that part. The reason these teams teams aren't competitive is because they don't have to be. These teams know that building a robot that can simply complete all the tasks of the game will serve them well in PCH. For the most part, a Ri3D robot would be able to win at least one district event here. Like I said in my first post, it is being complacent with mediocrity that is hurting us.
We need to help each other not just to raise the skill level of the lower tier teams, but to make the top tier teams even more competitive, because it is from our top teams pushing each other to strive for more that will produce a team competitive on the global scale.
