2002--Here we go again

[Mike Rush]

I've been in this as long as Ken(wonder how that could be?). Ever since my second year I knew that this day was going to happen(limits on Nationals). It was always physics for me. You can only put so much mass into a given volume without compressing it beyond recognition. This is a description of the nationals. We can argue forever on how the limits were to be implemented ( I personally dont like the original team year bye ), but FIRST had to make up a set of rules and they did . You can be sure of one thing... next years rules will be different again!

Relax and don't think this years changes are the end of existence as we know it. Some teams will decide to not participate. Other teams will decide to start. This is the way it has been, and will continue to be.
