Re: Vote to change the format of FIRST.

I don't think you are reading this correctly. Everyone keeps there robot and takes it from event to event. The robot never leaves their hands. So everyone has the same amount to time to work on their robot.

All Michigan teams and some others are bringing their robots to events now. I believe the union reason can be gotten around. We bring our tools in right now. If you had to you could just pay the union people the hours of work they would have got. It can't cost that much money to move some creates around.

There are more reasons than just these, but they're not coming to mind at the moment.

Additionally, as it is right now, there was only 9 days between ship and wk 1 regionals.
