It's not fair to the even teams to say that the best robots won't be at nationals.
Ok there will be odd teams also there. But I am saying that not all the best robots will be at the nationals.

I can say that because team 157 won Phily and is not going to the nationals. I have never hard of any regional winner not going to the nationals.

So some of the best robots are not going to be there. I would rate the nationals as another regional.

Unless FIRST does something that would make it fair for all the great robots to go to the nationals. This nationals will go down as a great regional. because the nationals are leaving alot of great robots out.

It would be like if you go to a bike race and you are ranked 25th and the top 24 racers don't show up does that make you the number 1 bike racer. I do not think so. I think that if you win you have beat all the robots for that day and not all the great robots. It kind of puts a black eye on the whole national bit.


This is my two cents on the whole thing.
