I don't know what you all think, but I am seeing a defininte trend of Yes and No in team numbers, and student and team status in FIRST.
Basically all who are for this decision are either an even number team, guaranteed a spot this year or every year, or an alumni. And all those against this are odd number teams (I know I am!).
The point of this at one point or another most of you are going to be denied the nationals. The whole reason that teams get new members year after year. By doing this you are not just missing out on what you look forward to each year, your team will suffer every other year. Without the almost certain draw of going to Florida, chances are new members will not join.
Florida is the major selling point of FIRST to students, it draws us in and shows us what science and technology is all about. Without this FIRST and FIRST teams will suffer. There has to be a better way to do this.
