Since when is FIRST about the championships ( and i say that like i would the super bowl, or world series) If a rookie team starts in the program for the single purpose to goto The Championships, then In my honest opinion, they are here for the wrong reason.
Sure the championships serve a purpose, and sure its a great learning experience, but a rookie team from the mid west attending a east or west coast regional could be more beneficial, and not as overwhelming, our team, team 25 started in FIRST in 1997, not to goto The Championships, not to win, but to build a robot, thats what this program is in the end, build the robot, don't worry where you compete. in 2000 we got to nationals by accident, and won,
we are all allowed our opinion and i am not here to try and change people's opinion.
