/me unconfused

I think i understand the new system now, but i still don't like it.
I feel that if the new system stays in place foo an indefinite amount of time then we will wind up w/ a "Championship"(and i use that term loosely) where you see a majority of same teams year after year qualifying.

I feel this new system is too restricted and doesn't give small teams (such as my own) who do very well by their own standards a chance to become serious competitors (by that i mean they don't get the chance to compete against teams from across the country and a chance to compete against some of the better teams in first)

And as for "mega regionals" i don't see them happening in the near future. But even if something like that arises in the next few years it still wont (in my mind) have the same feeling/prestige(possibly a bad term to use) of a "championship", Nor do i see teams traveling across the country to "mega regionals" as they do for the Championship b/c of that reason

Generalbrando: define "best", how can any one person/group of people decide what the "best" robots in FIRST are?

Thats just my opinion on this subject, take for what u want.
