In short, I don't see why there couldn't be 600 teams at Nats. Yes, it would be harder for FIRST in terms of manpower, it would mean Eistein would be used for more than 6-9 matches, and it would mean that it would be harder to see the finals, but it is possible. As FIRST grows, I think that the Championship needs to grow as well.

Yes, this is definitely possible to have 8 divisions, but I really dont see why it should be done. I dont think everyone should be able to go to nationals every year. I think it should be limited, and a challenge to get in to. It adds to the excitment if your team does go. It makes it more of an accomplishment just to be there. Also, it will excite the communities more, esspecially as FIRST grows into a household name. I agree every team should get the oppritunity to go to nationals, and the teir system is the perfect way to do this. I think FIRST really has things worked out right, making nationals a thing of honor and prestige, but also something available to everyone!
The game is as much a competition of strategies as it is of robots. There is never any one "best strategy."
If teams choose to use this as their strategy, find one that will beat them. - srjjs [more]
