Re: Ideas to move in the direction of making FIRST competitions 'fair'
How many people posting in here are advocates for the small teams, when in fact, they are from larger teams themselves?

How many people posting in here are from small teams, and want the levelled playing field?

I would assume that the answer to the former is a great deal, and the answer to the latter is next to zero.

If you really are concerned about the rookie teams, why not "sponsor" one of them yourselves?

Imho, I didn't enjoy last year's game as much as I enjoyed the others. Is this because F.I.R.S.T. is trying to help out the rookie teams? I hope not, but I certainly could not tell you.
Getting F.I.R.S.T. to change the game to help out the small teams is great and all, but I'd prefer it to be kept to a certain extent. If the game was truely level, wouldn't it be boring?
