I have never thought about that, and yes, that is strange.

However, what else I always thought was strange, is the amount of money given to the Delphi teams...

Whoa is about all that can be said about it.

I do not believe in keeping the best teams around, because then you have to wonder... what will happen to the smaller teams, that are not ranked as well? Will they just all die? If that was to happen, FIRST would probably have just those well known teams. Yes, there would be much competition, but it would be unfair. Life is unfair, I know, but you have to have those instances where everyone can be treated fairly.

Now, I'm all for the "FIRST STAR". It should be used to send teams to the Championship Event. The little qualification process seems a bit antiquated, if you ask me. FIRST will continue to grow, nothing will stop it, unless governments stop printing money.
