Championship should be a place for the best teams and robots. If other events aren't inspiring enough then work on that.

The Varsity "Sport" of the Mind needs to have a Championship that follows the model of other sports. The teams in the Championship earn their way there. The teams not there work hard and try to get better so they can be there one day. Teams that aren't good enough, they don't get to go. I'm sorry but that's real life. That's the mindset that needs to be propagated in my opinion.

Yup.

Also, imagine this:
Detroit = waitlist teams
Houston = Regional/District qualifiers, Chairman's winners, EI, etc.
