Are you really a FIRSTer from Indiana?
The ones I have known since way-back-in-the-day are not just unafraid of Michigan teams, they
welcome every chance they get to kick our behinds. Looking at the Michigan teams that have registered for the St. Joseph (Indiana) event, I see a nice correspondence with Indiana teams of similar strength and experience. Indiana has a proud history of strong, experienced teams that study the game carefully, build solid machines, have well trained drivers, scout effectively, and pick alliances strategically -- all to maximize their competitive results. Teams that are working to become strong and experienced (Git Gud*) watch those that already are, and learn. More good teams = BETTER EVENT, for the competition and for the real mission of FIRST.
I would welcome any or all of the Michigan teams that are registered for St. Joseph (Indiana) to come play with us in St. Joseph (Michigan) -- we are hosting our event the same weekend, and it is about one hour closer for Michigan teams. Last time I looked we still have a few spots open.**

I am not privy to FiM event roster assignments, so I don't know why those spots are still held.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
