But what FIRST is dealing with is, we all would like more qualification matches. They are increasing it by having 2 rounds on Thursday. They are trying to get teams to finish/ just need a few fine tuning/adjustments to do on Thursday. It isn't the end of the world to work harder and longer(even though most of us including myself don't want to) during build season, check carefully over our robots to make sure we aren't using anything illegal, and if we do have something that could possibly be an issue to contact FIRST about it.
