It's starting to sound like rec league soccer...everyone sign up to bring a snack at one of the events, and when you get to championship...here's your trophy and here's your Capri Sun.

I'm also concerned by this attitude. Champs as the ultimate robot competition is depressing to me since to achieve this you need to: - Eliminate waitlists, and probably wildcards. They didn't win in so they shouldn't be there.
- Eliminate advancing 2nd and 3rd picks. They're usually just along for the ride on the winning alliance.
- Eliminate advancing chairman's, HoF, and EI robots. Their robot didn't get them there, so that would water down the competition.
- Eliminate advancing RAS. Best rookie is still a rookie.
- Eliminate advancing original and sustaining teams. Just cause you used to be good...
I mean, if we're serious about crowning the one true champion and all that.

TL;DR: The robot battery (and your car battery) aren't going to electrocute you unless you stab a positive and negative wire from them into your heart. In which case you have plenty of other problems besides. - Kevin Sevcik [more]
