This discussion has been brought up here many times before, and without getting it started up again, I'll mention just a few points:

-Any solution that FIRST and Disney come up with is only temporary, if that solution is designed to allow every team a chance to attend.

-FIRST is billed as an "academic sport" of sorts. Using the sport analogy, which other high school/college sports say, "OK, we have the state finals(regionals) and get a state champion, but then anybody who wants to go to nationals can go..."?

-The split park setup at WDW has been mentioned before as well. One thing to consider is the massive logistical nightmare in transporting all the teams to and from the various sites, with tools, robots, etc...we stress Disney's bus lines enough getting to and from the one site as it is...
