Re: New Championship Layout 2015

I am very against the idea of seperating rookie teams away from everyone else at champs. 4451 last year was a power house and 5122 was a finalist at the NE champs and I'm sure there are boat loads more that I do not have the experience of knowing that show that rookie teams can compete with everyone else.

As for the field space, although it was rather miserable, FRC was able to fit two full fields and an exhibition field for CARD in 2011 in the pit area with everything else. With the four fields in the dome now and more space now that FTC and FLL are gone, it is totally possible for FIRST to impliment four more fields in the pit area, even though it might make things a little more crowded.

I also really like the idea of 75 teams per division with the four team alliance set up for eliminations. That allows another 200 teams to go to champs and another 128 teams a slot in eliminations. It also eases the insanity of scouting and allows for the same number of matches to be played in less time which can mean alliance selections on friday night and more elimination matches on saturday. Maybe moving Einstein to best of 5 or best of 7 and really forcing teams to show the endurance of their robot.
