Go to Post Robot shoots forward across field and jams itself into opposing alliance bridge. It was, however, the fastest our robot ever went. - PandaHatMan [more]

I'm going to elaborate too much on what I think would be a good alternative to the Even/Odd system, but here's what I would like to see as a good alternative.

As I read through these I realized my idea was close to Andy Baker's. FIRST is much more than the robots, but we are here because of them! Now I'm not denying that teams that win the extra awards such as animation, inventor, etc. shouldn't get benefits and be allowed to go to Nats because they should, but we can't exclude the robots here people. I like the idea of large Qualifying Regionals (for example, the Midwest would have a big Qualifying Regional) , which would then put you into the National Competition. Although it's not the most fair alternative, there are so many teams that it's hard to be truly fair to all teams. In addition to these large Qualifying Regionals, teams could also qualify for Nationals through a point system like the current one which includes all the awards like Chairmans, Animation, Robot Design Awards, etc.

That's my .02 cents.
