Bad news - those three days aren't going to help you, even in this situation.
Those three days will help you believe me! Last year our team went way overboard in the original design of the robot... To make a long story short; at the regionals we just plain stunk!! It was a battle of ego's in the design and unfortunately we placed I think second to last in our regional. In those three days after the comp. we totally redesigned our robot. It physically performed a heck of alot better at Nationals, but unfortunately we were still subject to some bad alliances so we came in near last again.

I wonder if FIRST changed the rule because of teams like mine....
I wonder if they will not be checking the robots twice this year like they did last year, once at a regional and once at the Nats. Maybe their just trying to save money by not having inspectors at both venues!

One can only Guess what FIRST's motives were?!?!?!?!?
Logical or otherwise???????
