If I truly understand what is being said I don't see anything wrong with most of the idea...
But lets figure out what i am reading, maybe I am missing something.

teams qualifying for the nat's could/should bring members from other teams. So the team that goes is just bigger. No problem there. More is better, pit control *may* be an issue but isn't it always?

Now about the idea of them bringing in thier robots...That I don't see. Why? To take up valuble space, to maybe drive in a practice round? If only 25% of the adopted teams bring their robot thats 20% more machines to deal with, including storage of crates, moving around in the pit and near the fields.

Why make the logistics harder than they already are?

I am in the camp that feels you need to qualify to go to nationals. Qualify as defined by FIRST now, and in the future as we grow.

Later
