I don't know that it's a bad idea, I'm just not sure the problem it solves is correctly defined. I lost track back on Friday of the number of "RotM" team members that said "this sucks". A principal argument, though certainly not the only one, isn't so much about seeing Worlds as it is qualifying for that top tier event. This isn't the position of all RotMs, certainly, or of the entirety of any group. At this point neither you nor I nor anyone knows what most RotM or most elite members think or why. It would be wise to consider and phrase proposals with this in mind, rather than attributing one's own opinions to an entire cohort of people.

Hopefully the Town Hall will help understand what more people think, but considering it's is only attended by people at Worlds, and FIRST didn't consult anyone outside HQ about this beforehand, the truth is we'll probably never really know.
