Last year I went to nationals knowing that there was no way my team would do very well at all in terms of standings
You went with the wrong frame of mind. Like I said, and I am sure colleen would back me up, is the fact FIRST could send out medals to every team, showing them they are all winners.

FIRST is not a competition about winning, its about showing people what amazing things students come up, when they are given certain standards to follow, i.e. the kit parts, dimensions, etc.
And it’s about showing students, science and technology, and how exciting things can be, and to show an individual what their minds can come up with.

And a question for thought, Would you like to know your friends were at a competition on the opposite coast or couldn't compete at all because Nats had to become limited because of the number of teams? I hope you would go with, an answer of them competing on the opposite coast.

This is my opinion.
Mike
