Re: FIRST in Michigan Thoughts/Impressions
Is it really fair that Michigan teams can have so many more matches then non-Michigan teams? They have the option to attend 5 events: two districts, the State Championship, one regional, and the Championships. That is insane.

Not only that but with the 40 lbs weight rule for bringing in new parts a team can essentially completely rebuild their bot during the season. As matter of fact I saw several teams, not just from Michigan, do just that. You have 6 weeks to build a robot and that's it, but that is a discussion for another forum...
