Re: The Only Constant is Change
I'm personally hoping the district model does not come to my state, if only because I want to participate in FIRST rather than a robotics competition...
If the point system is changed, then I'd be happy with it. The Midwest (Wisconsin / Illinois / Minnesota) region would be a good fit, with over 100 teams between the three states. Saving money never killed anyone, and my team would LOVE to do 3 events and a State event for less than we pay now.
I'm just hoping that the District "pilot" isn't taken as a runaway mega success and absolutely nothing is changed from it and everyone has to do districts everywhere, as there are many parts to the system that don't work well with many regions, or sit well with many teams (Pretty sure a lot of teams want to travel...)

Practice bots are not regulated by FIRST. Your practice bot could have a flamethrower and a jamming device on it, and they wouldn't care in the slightest.
You just can't compete at a competition with it. :) - AlecMataloni [more]
