 Now, everyone knows that Oompaloompas are like bunnies in that they have an insatiable desire to multiply, and the same can be said with Michigan teams (with all due respect) which are currently multiplying and filling that hand-shaped democratic kingdom with their honorable number. - Eugenia Gabrielov [more] |

Re: Why Give Open Bids to the Championship?
Personally I'm glad FIRST leaves some spots open to general teams. Teams should be allowed to go at least once every 4 years because every student deserves a chance to experience it regardless of a team's funding situation (complicated robot, booking reservations at an elevated price because it's only 2 weeks away, etc), mechanical abilities, or the fact that other veteran teams come in and snipe their regionals every year. Without the lottery some teams would NEVER get a chance to go to championships, and let's be honest -- FRC is, and should be, about opportunity more than it is about competition.
