I was never trying to say that the lower ranked teams should be eliminated. My thoughts on FIRST STAR were just for the Championship. If the teams that do not qualify use the money spent to go to another regional, that may improve their ranking.

As for allowing the better teams to fade away, that would be counter productive for FIRST. It is the better teams that raise the bar for everyone.

Another thing that may improve the quality of the robots and the competition is to add another week to the build season. Of course it may just end up being another week to put off finishing the robot.
