I like that idea too, but that goes against what FIRST believes. Over the last 5 years that I have been involved, I've noticed and have been told that FIRST officials HATE seeing total blowouts and watching teams that have put their blood and sweat into their machine only to go out and get their butts kicked time after time. It really lowers their self esteem and increases frustration and all together, could ruin them ever wanting to come back and compete in the future. Yeah I know they shouldn't give up, but it has happened. FIRST wants to level the competition enough so that some kind of rookie team with no expierence can hang or come close to teams like 68, 60, 71, 47, etc.
Trust me on this one, its better this way.
