Go to Post The driver must have a relationship with the robot, the driver should talk to the robot, speak soft encouraging words to it. Pet names are also a good idea. If the driver does not love the robot, how can the driver learn to trust the robot. - Gboehm [more]

As for using the team number to determine who gets the "extra" slots, my feeling on this is that they were looking for a way to still give every team a chance to attend at least every other year, and limiting the teams that can use the "unassigned" slots by even or odd team numbers seems to be no better than any other way that they could determine who got to use the remaining slots...
www.dictionary.com defines discrimination as "Treatment or consideration based on class or category rather than individual merit"

I have no problem with the concept for competing with hopes to place high enough to attend. However, being dismissed based only upon our team number (odd/even) is neither "gracious" nor "professional", its just discriminatory. Is that what FIRST stands for?
