I argue against any form of droppoing teams that don't work or being picky about who goes to a regional based on an entertainment value. FIRST isn't about entertainment. It never was and never should be. The focus should be on the students and teaching them. Getting FIRST on TV and creating a Battlebots type battle system would ruin FIRST. FIRST dosn't sway on the flows of what 'Joe Blow' wants to watch on TV on Saturday afternoon, but teaching kids.

I'd rather have a smaller FIRST that keeps it values than have more teams and water down the message.
