We need to write up the main criteria so its in black and white for everyone. As with the Olympics or any sport at the highest level of competition the objective is to have the best 50 teams/robots possible fighting it out for the World Championship. The fair way to do this is have existing & new teams apply giving their previous results and or their new robots statistics so we can have a black and white these are our best 50 entrants. We are certainly open to having qualifying for non spinners at another event however as we mentioned earlier we are in the first stages and there is quite a lot to organise to make certain everything is fair for everyone..
