Battlebots: you play pre-matches to go onto the finals.. but you are there at the compitition. everybody gets a chance. The top robots do not have to go thru this pre-game. they just go onto the finals. Maybe FIRST should look at there format.
FIRST could of done many things to solve this problem. they chose the easy way out. [/b]

Just to point out.
My team (Team #88), except for 2 years, has always done extrememly well. Our first year, and Last year were the only exception to this. Should we have skipped the Regionals, and be allowed to compete in the finals because of this. I don't think so.
Also, to further clarify, Battelbots can afford to use that format, because the game doesn't change year to year. It's the same, so you can use the same robot.
As you know FIRST is based on the fact the game will change, so it would be impossible for them to goto that format without completely changeing the nature of their game.
