Is it fair to hold Slots for Rookie teams.

What if, each alliance has a pile of AndyMark equipment in front of them. They then have 2:00 minutes to assemble said equipment, and build a working robot that will race to the other side and grab the other alliance's flag. - Pjohn1959 [more]

Rookie Teams

I am not so sure that FIRST saves spots. However if they did, I would support the idea as many local rookies are just now getting organized. Having them travel for their only competition is a hardship for them.

Established teams can plan ahead.

The real point is the amount of spaces in a local competition as it relates to the number of local teams wanting to go to that competition. I see in the future the possibility of say .... two competitions at Great Lakes two weeks in a rwo. Teams will have to choose which week but not both.
