Re: Vote to change the format of FIRST.
Not to mention every team would have to find a way to safely move their robot from their home to competition. Any team that needs to fly would be in trouble and the chances of robots being damaged in route would probably greatly increase.

Honestly I think it would just make better teams better. Teams with a lot of resources will be able to change their robot much quicker to adapt to competition. I can just imagine some of the changes I've seen at IRI in week 5 because of all the free time. The best example I can come up with is 1114's autonomous in 2008. By IRI they were lapping (sometimes even a 5th line) and knocking down both balls, giving them 32-36 pts in autonomous alone.
