Re: Is competing at multiple regionals REALLY fair ?

If the criteria for picking teams were simply who has qualified to go to Atlanta or not then HOF teams and legacy teams (which we are both) shouldn't even bother showing up for competitions since they are already going. Sometimes competing is about getting better at what you do. When HOT came to FLR they're robot was in pieces and they didn't have much of a Hybrid mode. They made it to the semis. By the the time they got to GLR they won the event and they got to Einstein in Atlanta.
So for Fuzzy to say teams like HOT are wrong for what they did shows that he isn't looking at the big picture neither.
