3. Districts /// Ovbiously we saw that this is something that either, FIRST needs to limit, or they need to make everything a district next year. There is no doubt in my mind that the #1 reason there were four MI robots in the finals on Einstein was because of the experance their drivers had accumulated by going to their respective events. Just to give an example, here are the match counts for the four MI teams that were on einstein (these numbers are after championships)
217: 85 Matches Played
67: 87 Matches Played
247: 82 Matches Played
68: 79 Matches Played
here are the totals for the other two teams that were on Einstein
111: 46 Matches Played
971: 32 Matches Played
I see a huge discrpeency there, Im srue you see it as well. Districts either need to be eliminated, or FIRST needs to start making Multi-Regionals affordable for everyone else

I agree with you here, FIRST needs to go to district events nation wide, I know team density in some states is too low like Nevada to have district events, they could have a west coast district where AZ, NV, CA, & UT can go and compete in any district event with in the four states and then have a "West Coast Championship" I think that would be really fun and is a possible solution.
