Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST Adds District Event Model Alternative to FRC Program
It's not a philosophical-only argument for many regions of the country, in my opinion. Just because it was a moot point last year doesn't mean it will be a moot point every year (catastrophic technical failure, strategy misjudge, etc. that don't factor into Chairman's could eliminate a team from the State Championships, and just the possibility of that is something that really bothers me. Perhaps it's motivated by selfishness (being that my team has won RCAs with non-competitive robots before), but all excluding the culture change winners would do is turn FIRST that much more into a robotics competition. What harm would come from including them "for sure"?
