Re: Championship 2008 - Atlanta - Your Thoughts Please

As far as the number of qualification rounds go, they are definitely not even close to the number needed. The rankings are off because there are not enough matches.
there are 85 teams, and the most number of teams that you get to play with/against is 35 teams.

I am not sure if this would be practical, but at least for the championship, it would be extremely beneficial if Wednesday was the practice day and there were two qualification days, and Saturday had less quals and more time for eliminations.


Just my personal opinion,
I don't like the randomness of the competition, If we redo the championship 10 times, 10 different alliances will win, and no matter how good a robot is, you need some luck to win.
I don't like seeing hundreds of hours spent by students and mentors not being recognized because of the randomness.
