Re: Qualifying for CMP in the future

I would be in favor of not qualifying the 3rd robot from the winning alliance.

1) It would not create awkward situations like they have in FTC where the top pick might decline so they can be a captain and have a better chance at qualifying.
2) I think the #10-16 picks would be happy enough to play in elims and have a chance at a banner.
3) There is some awkwardness with the #8 and #9 picks since they are essentially equally seeded. One could argue in favor of allowing all three teams to qualify in cases when the #8 seed wins the event.
4) This move would increase the competitive level of the average team at the Championship.

It would be nice to see a Championship that was more competitive on average during qualifiers than MSC. Accomplishing that while appropriately recognizing and inspiring the RCA / EI / RAS award winners is an interesting challenge.
