i feel that in the long run FIRST will grow so large that they will not be able to handle the capasity. i feel that if this happens FIRST will have to start regulating regionals as well as nationals.
I think once FIRST reaches the point of being to big they will do what they should have started this year, only teams with wins or with some amount of points go. Thats the only way, even if they have several “nationals” or whatnot. FIRST will either get too big or it will start to die out, theres only so much funding to go around for everyone after all.
