if a team accomplished that then they are truely exceptional.

If you average the rankings of all the very small teams with limited resources, I dont think that winning a top 8 seat will be anywhere close to typical.

Inspiration is a separate issue. We are discussing ways to possibly make the scoring and ranking system better.

For years we have all accepted that FIRST is not fair. Big teams have a clear advantage. Are we unwilling to even consider a way to level the playing field?

What is everyone afraid of?
