I think that this year's competition is a good mix of something new. Granted I don't appreciate too much the complications of scoring objectives or the lack of action of visible competition, I still believe that thie year may prove to be either a great accomplishment for the people at FIRST or a nice humbling moment. They may find that this system of "working together" is very effective, or they may find that trying to "replicate" real world situations too much may prove cumbersome. Either way, I suggest that we all put our best effort into this year's competition and see what happens at the regionals and nationals.

A little side-note...I think the nationals should be merit based. Maybe the top 4 in each region or something like that. I think the regionals should be of more significance to the entire program than simply a practice round for teams going to the nationals.
