Re: Is competing at multiple regionals REALLY fair ?

How many powerhouse teams are there in FRC? What is their impact, overall, affecting all of the robot competitions, including the regionals and Atlanta? It would be my guess that the powerhouse teams are the minority and will remain so as more and more teams form to compete in FRC.

In your post, it seems several topics are being touched on. The merits of bringing newer teams up to speed more quickly probably deserves its own thread discussion: being more competitive at the events therefore improving the odds of being selected, building/developing teams, identifying resources/factors that can help all of this, and creating opportunities for more social interactions among the teams.

Just some thoughts.
