nationals...

From what I have seen, and heard from previous years FIRST has given people quite a shock with competition formats from year to year. Even with 4v0, people were a little doubtful about that competition, but I think it turned out to be pretty decent, and I think many peoples opinions changed once the competition began. I just think FIRST is handing us another obstacle, I think this year is going to push every team to its limits and see what a team is made of and what a team can do, because everyone will be working 10x as hard because mostly everyone wants to go to nats, which makes me think, we are going to see some really awesome robots this year, because people will be giving it their all (not to say they haven't before, just this year I think everyone is going to give it 100% more).

I just don't think people should be complaining, because we haven't even seen the competition format yet, all the people who are saying we have no chance, you could build the best robot for this years competition, and go out and do a really great job, and come home national champions. FIRST has handed us one aspect of this years competition that’s it, people think already they are ineligible for things but that’s not true, I think people should wait until after kickoff until they start complaining.

I am sorry if that makes people mad, it’s just what I think.
