In addition, how will limiting the amount of regionals that powerhouse teams attend increase the number of teams over 2000 that end up on einstein. The powerhouse teams will still end up in the championship. Maybe a few more teams over 2000 will get in but for the most those teams will not be ranked highly at regionals anyway ( I know some are like 2056). Additionally we were on Archimedes this year and there were a good amount of teams over 2000; however, most are not good enough to be selected for an alliance and certainly not to win the division ( I know there are exceptions). Increasing the amount of high number teams at the championship will only make the competition more boring as many of those teams function quite poorly and simply cannot stand up to the elite teams.

Also, we are team number 1771, a high number, and we were one of the top hurdling robots in the entire championship. Just goes to show that high numbered teams can get into, and do well at the championship.
