Go to Post By the end of week six, I'm sick of looking at the robot enough that stuffing it in a bag is rather cathartic...:rolleyes: - 2544HCRC [more]

OK sorry Wayne, i misunderstood your last post, i thought that you were bashing the organization you and us all love by using the eligibility criteria as a way to say no to teams not being let to go to Nat's. Just as you prob know as i was at I.R.I., i have and will travel to work for people and for first to get comps and events going. i see your point and agree with it that we need more teams there so we can even out the competitions more and have more fun. but i just don't think it will happen soon where first will be able to let 300-500 more teams attend, i would love it but i don't think it will happen. the reason why i don't think it will happen, is because of volunteers. as you know along with others, when it comes to people to work events first doesn't have the largest amount of people jumping the gun. i wish more people would sacrifice one or two weeks a year to work at the competitions as a volunteer, because that will be the only way we can get more fields so more teams can attend. my team personally had at least half of our members if not more who attended Nat's this past year volunteer for first, and it didn't effect the teams role at all over the week. now i bet we could get more teams out there to send off one or two people to help volunteer but they aren't doing it cause they don't get anything tangible in return. i want to say something here that may offend some of you but i am going out on a branch and saying that i bet less then 10% of people who are active on a team thats not a mentor or adult have volunteered or worked at a first event before, now how can we get that number higher?
