Well I can't say I'm super happy with this idea.

I feel like FTC always seems to take a backseat because everyone just sees it as "FRC lite". Moving it to a whole other building, and out of the dome, will really take something away from the experience I think. And as much as I love FTC, I feel it already leaves something to be desired in the "inspiration" category.

It kind of feels like the other programs have been "downgraded".

Though maybe that's a little hasty of me.

There's already a thread about this announcement here (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=129072), I just uploaded this image to Chief Delphi so it would be more easily viewed.

I feel like this image is a lot more relevant:

6-minute train ride, every 10 minutes. Obviously it's not the same as being in the same building, but it's no mile-long walk.
