Re: Why Give Open Bids to the Championship?

The best robots should get to go, not teams with mediocre to poor robots and good sponsors that get them the 10k. Our team did it in 2009 and then qualified by winning RCA. Yes, it was nice to know that you were going to Atlanta no matter how we did at GSR, but we hadn't earned the right to play with the best teams until we got RCA.
Just my thoughts.

Is this the purpose of the FIRST Championship?

That sounds like PONG. For you youngsters, that was the first video game available for the public to play. - Robert Cawthon [more]
