After reading the posts on both sides of the issues, I must say that I think that robots should be directly shipped. This is coming from a team that lives an hour away from VCU, too. Yes, if this is a requirement, your robot not might get those final perfecting changes, but I think that that is a part of FIRST as well. Simply going to a regional gives a team an advantage with driver training, design checking and strategy. At the very worst, if a robot breaks, then drop out of the rest of the regional - you will still have more time to work on your bot than teams that are far away from regionals or don't have the resources.

Either way though, I'll be happy. I feel odd in not being in complete support of one side of the issue or the other - LoL, it really seems like people in this QOTW have said "obviously yes!" and "obviously no!" at the same time. For this I must congradulate Ken Leung for choosing a most wonderful topic choice.

~Tom~, who was really sick of the talks about how nationals were unfair etc. and is extremely glad to move on to another topic.
