I'm by no means trying to start a fight over this but dont you think 6 competitions is a lot for just one team, and one question was your whole team going to attend everyday of each event?
Because i know in my school they barely like us missing days for our 3 competitions, but i cant even imagine 6...

Dude, think about the little guys too

At least get those facts straight if your not "trying to start a fight". Yes at one time we wanted to do this, but, due to the St. Louis change and the big waiting list for Great Lakes, we gave up 2 regionals weeks ago. You might say we were thinking, in part, about the other guys.

Yes we were going to use partial teams.

Currently we are signed up for 3 regionals and the championship. I'm sorry if you don't agree with this but as of today there is no rule against it and who knows what FIRST will do with the next regional we give up. Will it go a rookie team or just the next one in line on the waiting list looking for that 3rd regional.

The intent of my initial post was to inform of a likely event, not to draw fire from those who would have us back of the fun for the sake of some abstract "Little Guy"
