Well you make another point that the group they are suggesting this path to is not just FRC teams. How dose that play into this? How will this look for all the programs in two plus years?

The route of split FIRST world championships is not something an FRC team has done. We all think we know that a tiered system will work and it likely would but the people who have to put it together before we get there have set forth a foreign plan that is so far untested.

They aren't pointing down route X or Y, they found R and want to give it a shot. All of HQ's personnel haven't been on a team and just the same we haven't all run USFIRST.

While I think most of us understand what you're saying, when we build our robots, there are some things we don't have to prototype or test to know it's a bad idea.
