: Furthermore, I feel fairness should a secondary goal in this whole FIRST thing.

I have to take exception to this statement. FIRST is a messenger carrying a message of inspiration of science and technology. If the competition is viewed to be unfair by any teams, those teams may lose faith in the competition and FIRST's ability to run a competition. If one loses faith in the messenger, how can one have faith in the message the messenger preaches? They can't.

If everyone is to have faith in FIRST, everyone must view FIRST as being equitable and fair to all. This is why FIRST should strive for fairness. Otherwise, some teams may decide to pack up and head to a different form of inspiration that is viewed as being more fair.
