Re: Vote to change the format of FIRST.
We are the costumers. FIRST works for us we pay them. The venues work for FIRST. If enough of us want something, usually we can get it. This is a proposal for next year or after that. Union rules are contracts and contracts can be changed and altered.

I do agree that at all events you would have to be able to bring in your robot so that it is fair to everyone.

EDIT:
Furthermore, everyone seems to be getting hung up on the union comment. At many of the venues it is a non-trivial task to do team load-in of all the tools and such. If you add the robots to it too, it would take substantially longer, and you would lose extremely valuable practice time on Thursday.
