Why Give Open Bids to the Championship? - Chief Delphi

Go to Post

In my opinion, I wouldnt want gifts or praise from people about my help to a robotics team, all I would want is a thank you, that would make all my hard work and efforts worth while and it would prove to me that I could actually be making a difference in the students lives - Mike Schroeder [more]

The current system doesn't. Look at Kims Robots post. Her team goes every year (because of the experiance), but since the numbers say only 1 team in 4 gets to go every year (less than 25% due to space limitations) that means that 3 of the 4 years her team is taking the spot (and experiance) of another team, just because her team has the money onhand. IE less teams going.

Again ... if we call it a championship, then lets set up a system such that the best-of-the-best get to the championship ... and if it's a buy-your-way-in then lets label it as that (an exhibition).
