Also, if awards like Chairmans or Engineering Inspiration are awarded only at the state championships, will only one Michigan team be able to represent the state at the championships? (right now three teams from Michigan-or who attend Michigan regionals- are able to present their Chairmans presentation to judges)
I think this will be good for rookies or struggling teams or teams with very limited supplies and members but I still have mixed feelings about this, although maybe because the competitions will be closer more people (parents, friends, family members, teachers) will attend? That could ultimately increase the interest and knowledge of FIRST helping the program grow and gaining more school support. I guess we will all see how it works out.
