I agree. I'd rather be in a more well-rounded division where I get to see great robots from experienced teams, clever new designs from teams I might not have heard from, and get to watch/play in an overall good competition.

To me, FIRST is about the experience that you get from all aspects of the competition (the game play, the spirit in the stands, the fierce strategizing, the blood sweat and tears shed in the pits to get the robot working before a match, etc). In a Power House division, you'll still see blood, sweat, and tears, but mainly from the teams playing against the Power Houses.
