Re: Official Inter-District Interest
In my opinion, I say no.
My first reason is that qualifying to go to Champs from your district intrinsically means you did better than the other teams in your area. That's the way it should be. Introducing points from other districts could be detrimental to this. For example, if a team that wouldn't otherwise make it (but close) from FIM goes to play in Peachtree, it is clear that they will qualify. However, this means that the best in FIM are not being represented. That's a problem.

Being in FIRST and putting the focus on the robot is like building a robot and putting the focus on the bandsaw (or mill or lathe, or whatever you do your machining with). The robot is a tool we use to play the game, the game is a tool we use to inspire and teach. - GeeTwo [more]
