Re: New FIRST competition structure in Michigan
The actual rule for the Woodie Flowers Finalist Award for Michigan (I do not know why it is not in the manual yet as several sections for the WFA are missing) has nothing to do with the robot performance.

Basically, you nominate your candidate at one of the Michigan districts you will be attending. At each district, all of the nominated candidates from that district will be called to the playing field to be recognized as nominees.

All of the nominees from all of the districts will be judged for the Michigan State Championship WFFA. There will be 1 WFFA winner from Michigan, not 3. I will not go into the reasons why on this forum. If you really want to know why, then you can discuss it with me during the 2009 season. However, all of the former WFA (it was unanimous) agreed that this was the best approach for Michigan and FIRST.

Agian, it has nothing to do with the robot for the WFFA, including Michigan.
