Their pits and fields don't take up as much room as FRC. Maybe that could be squeezed in.

I've always figured this as a more logical answer than another qualification level. FTC isn't larger the FRC by any means--it doesn't need to weed down the field further, it just needs the same Worlds bids that FRC gets. (200 teams seems like a lot for each division from an FRC standpoint, but I guess if it works for FTC so much the better.)


St. Louis definitely does pose risks, particularly if you have to walk to your hotel at night. I don't think Al disagrees with you, Alex. It's just a reminder for everyone to be safe. Don't people's fortunate experiences not having problems allow you to let your guard down. You might, you might not. This applies everywhere.
