Reasons to sign up for Worlds this year

Bit extreme. But how would we have in person worlds even with Covid? That’s the issue. They still want to offer a worlds experience to teams who qualified but without risking covid. Yes it’s 500 dollars but you can still play matches virtually, do skills, win and have fun. Showcase events are a good solution for virtual worlds but some events are struggling to find teams. Some aren’t though. So if you don’t want virtual worlds then do showcase. But holy cow bud you need to understand their point of view.

@9MotorGang

, I feel like we aren’t getting a lot out of

You try to do it then. Try to make a world event. I don’t think you understand that they are trying to make one that’s almost like worlds or at least the experience of worlds.

I am not saying we should have in person worlds. I understand the the REC foundation and vex have put a lot of work into this event. I’d think they should offer teams the chance to do both skill and LRT. I also think the LRT is broken due to reasons in this thread Ideal Robots For LRT - #6 by 9MotorGang. I am also a sophomore so I am not trying to win. I just want to learn and I am really worried a lot of that learning isn’t going to happen this year.

I hope that virtual worlds is worth it and all the teams attending think that it was worth their time and money, but I don’t think they will be. I hope I am proven wrong here, you will have to let me know after worlds.

As @Ethan5956F said, this is kind of starting to go in circles. This thread (and the others) should probably die off or be locked.
