After re-reading all the posts, it seems that people aren't talking about what was stated in the original post. To all those people that are talking about how the stage is setup or where the competition could be located in WDW, that isn't the problem. The problem is that FIRST and the nationals are getting way to big and Disney doesn't have enough man power to handle FIRST, I think someone else mentioned the fact that we hold nationals in April which is a very busy time for Disney, which is also very true.

I think the problem that should be concerning everyone is how can we make it so that everyone that wants to attend nationals can and not limit nationals because we are too big. Someone, I think Scott, mentioned some possibilities such as, based on last years or this years performance. I think that is very opposite of what FIRST is trying to do, its limiting teams based on their robot performance, and in my opinion if your team builds a robot and its able to move an inch then you deserve to be in nationals just as much as anyone else, and that’s what first is all about, learning and having fun, not to go out and win win win.

Also, so people mentioned the possible amount of money Disney profited, The Disney Corporation in general makes hundreds of millions if not maybe billions a day from their customers, I don't think $6 million is that much to them.

This is my opinion.
Mike
