: 1. Limit the 'openness' of Nationals. Turn Regionals into 'qualification tournaments'.
I have thought of that alternative, but I believe it is not in the spirit of FIRST- what i mean is that most of the emphasis in the national is not placed on the winner of the robotics competition, but on the winner of the Chairman's Award, which has nothing really to do with building a robot. FIRST is about teamwork and real-life education, not competition. But, I'm not saying it is not a competitive event.
: 4. Move the event location...Atlanta?... or some other centrally located large city.
That's not a bad idea I must say. But there's something about Epcot that is different than anywhere else.
: 5. No Nationals ... (did I say that?!?!) and focus more on Regionals.
I dont' really think that's a good idea. The nationals is good way to see what people all across the country are doing.
Just my 2 cents.. tell me what you think.
