You probably will make some people upset with this one, I'm not upset though(maybe because I'm not a rookie team
) but I disagree 100%. I think it would be an awesome experience to be able to attend a nationals, especially your rookie year, it gives you something to look forward to, though my team wasn't a rookie team last year, I was a rookie, and I really enjoyed nationals and look forward to it this year and I hate that I may miss it next year because of the new system. But like I've heard many FIRST speakers say "Everyone is a winner in FIRST". So I really don't think winning the competition is THAT important, sure it would be
really cool to win a competition, but I think its just as fun to be involved in FIRST and attending the event.
