Nationals & Rookies
So here I post a question looking for some insight or a response in regards to something that's been bothering a bunch of my friends. After the regionals, many rookie teams had their hearts set on going to Nationals. One such team, whom we mentor, Team 1923, raised the money necessary to pay for registration and travel, but faced just one problem.
Despite everyone's best efforts to talk to people at FIRST, Rookies won't be allowed to compete at Nationals. My question is...why? This year our team alone has qualified for 5 or so spots for Nationals, and of course we need only one, so why then wouldn't we be allowed to 'donate' these spots to rookie teams.
The way I see it, if a rookie team can afford it, what better way to get them 'super-involved in FIRST and have them get the overall FIRST experience?
*edit*
I meant rookie teams who haven't otherwise so qualified through winning a regional, etc.
