Re: [FTC]: Possible Change in Selection Process for Nationals
I don't know what, if any, changes FIRST might make to the FTC Championship invitation criteria.
Many 2007 Championship FVC participants have expressed the opinion that the number of qualifying matches was too small, implying either (1) too many invitees or (2) not enough aggregate qualifying time.
If FIRST sees a need to reduce the number of FTC Championship invitees, then I think limiting automatic invitation to Inspire award winners is better than limiting it to winners, alliance captains, first-round picks, etc.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
