Looks like this recommendation is still awaiting FIRST Board of Director approval, two months later?
Bummer that we don't have any more details on the CMP split, over one year after the original half-champs announcement. I won't even know which teams to say goodbye to this week :( Hoping the FIRST BoD gets their act together. -Mike |
Re: Frank Answers Fridays - 2017- Championships
This seems like a weirdly detailed piece of planning for the Board to get involved in. Huh.

Is it possible to do that even if you might see them again (I would assume most positive responses = yes, most negative responses = no). |

I'd take my kids by their pits to ask them questions about their build methods and show them "what if we tried this" or "see how they solved that problem". Many of the top teams in FRC are roles models for me and my kids. I'd want to make the most of those opportunities before half champs. I'd buy my friends/colleagues a "mentor soda" this week and wish them luck in the future. So to answer your second question, I guess yes and no. Probably not great reasons to most, but its valuable to me. Still holding out hope for 2021. -Mike *EDIT* I'll likely be doing lots of this in the coming days regardless. Just would be nice to focus some energies. |

They probably wanted to wait and make the big announcement this weekend at the Championship.

One more example of the difference in degree of difficulty between making a decision and implementing a decision... |
Re: Frank Answers Fridays - 2017- Championships
It seems they are making up for making a quick and rash decision of splitting champs in the 1st place. At least they are semi keeping the population in the loop, granted it takes us asking questions to remind them about it....

Re: Frank Answers Fridays - 2017- Championships
I would be willing to bet that the split will be geographic--perhaps the Mississippi River will serve as the dividing line? How fitting that that decision is made in St. Louis......;)

After consulting for NGOs for years, I realize how different the FIRST board is in comparison to other NGOs of its size. This is, in comparison, an extremely engaged board. Many sponsor teams and give copious amounts of money to the program. I'm not surprised that they're involved.

Re: Frank Answers Fridays - 2017- Championships
I am making the assumption that the spilt will be regionally divided, so it looks like I will be seeing many teams up close for the last time. I imagine this will be my last time seeing teams like 118 and 148, possibly even California teams like 254 and 1678. Still don't know how I feel about the split.
