Re: Vote to change the format of FIRST.

Back when I was a student, on my old team we just made sure we built a robust robot. We never let teams who went to multiple regionals phase us, some of the times it worked to our advantage to research the teams who were going to another regional before ours and learn their weaknesses and strengths ahead of time.
With the current team I'm with, the whole bag & tag, we're avoiding any events that require that because it's much more of a hassle for our team to transport our own robot because we only have so much transport space available to us.
One thought some of our mentors were wondering is if FIRST will eventually have like a "super division" for those teams who win constantly over and over again.
