I am soo confused right now...
Acording to The Blue Alliance, there are four divisions of about 85 robots in each division.
But wouldnt that mean that there are 310 robots going to the finals, and if there are only 40 or so regionals, then that would mean that each regional would have to send 8 or 9 robots to final.
However, I thought that the only robots that were able to go to the finals were the robot that either won the finals in thier region or the ones that got the regional chairman's award. So that would only be four robots...?


For example, I was looking at team 1388 and it says that they are going to the finals even though they didn't win the finals in either of the two regionals they attened, and they didn't win the chairman's award in either one.


Can you please help me by explaining this process.

First, what do the different divisions mean?
Second, how can a team be sent to the finals?
And finally, when are the finals?
