It is notable that many of the disenters are either from Beta Teams or in the beta testing groups. Your teams obviously feel themselves prepared to deal with the perils of beta code and information, why do you want to deprive that right from others.

I have not been on the team I graduated from for two years. This year, I will have no team by my own choice. And it isn't just the beta teams, it's WFA winners. Remember 159 teams applied, but only 18 were accepted. I'm sure FIRST would have liked 159 teams, but that's the way things are.

When a beta tester says that he doesn't think the other teams are ready to see what his team is allowed to, he either being condesending, or trying to retain his teams competative advantage.

Or, he sees something that he thinks is not right and is buying time for a fix to be implemented.

Remember, the beta teams are required to teach other teams about what they learn. If they don't, FIRST could have them send their unit back.

EDIT: Elliot, I think someone beat you to it.
