I feel the even/odd/point solution was good in the beginning. Now it seems to me to be to inclusive. Heres my logic considering 2v2 system. We have roughly 1000 teams and we need to get at most 300 of them. I think the system should be purely award driven. This is the superbowl of smarts right! lets make it that way. This breakdown covers all aspects. Great robots, great teams, and even a chance for those rookies to get in. I'd like to see it like since when championship qualifying is harder to achieve then we will all strive to make a better bot. It will influence us all as teams to work together and realize we have to work to get to atlanta.
78 Regional Winners
26 Chairman's
26 Animation
26 Spirit (I feel the loud teams should be there to cheer everyone on)
26 Delphi Award
26 Engineering Inspiration Award
26 Motorola Quality Award
26 Johnson & Johnson Sportsmanship Award
26 Leadership in Control Award
26 Highest Rookie Seed
-------------------------------
312 teams
and with the overlapping teams it brings it down to about 280. Makes sense? And youve got 2 weeks before atlanta in the last regional so if you weary on time and money go to an earlier regional.
and M krass its called competition for a reason...
