T190 has enough points to go, is an even team, and participated since 1992. So whoever disagrees with certain ones can be please to know we make it on all standards.
And I think teams that us the "We go to DisneyWorld" to get people to join isn't really within the 'point' of FIRST. Yah, it's a nice reward.. but that shouldn't be the only reason people join FIRST. The experience and seeing your robot work on stage after all that work is the true reward. And you don't need to be in DisneyWorld for that to happen.
What are people really losing from not going to Nationals? I bet it's all a social thing- seeing the people they only see at nationals, or just doing all the 'Disney' things.. etc etc.. I think divisions were a great thing and that made Disney like a bunch of sunny regionals. So why not just go to regionals and enjoy them for everything they are for. geez.
Be sure everyone's worried about missing National Championship and not their social lives at the Nationals and that's why they are mad.
ok- done.
