Re: FRC Blogged - 2013 FIRST Championship Registration and Request for Proposals for
It would be really nice to have teams who havent been to CMP for a while be able to go for the experience. Its sad that this is becoming less and less likely but you could kind of see this coming. I'm not sure how FIRST will tackle the growing size but cutting back on the wait list, however sad, was an obvious way.
I'm not so sure they should take away EI as a way to get to CMP, although I've heard a lot of people suggest. The heart and spirit of FIRST is embodied by awards like RCA and EI. You send three teams for robot (regional winners), one rookie for robot/impact (rookie all-star) and two for outreach and impact (RCA and IE). I think FIRST will want to keep the balance of what earns a trip to CMP.

I know I exaggerated a bit, but NASA put a man on the moon with less processing than some FRC bots. Think about that for a minute. - JesseK [more]
