Re: Ontario Moving to District Model in 2017
No one ever said 5699 was a struggling program in this thread. In the regional model with the TDSB sponsorship never adjusting, you may have been able to operate without any private funds, but...

Re: California District Proposal
Sponsors can walk into a lot of people at District Championship events, see them shouting and screaming, get impressed, and write checks. They can also go to at least twice as many events as...

Re: California District Proposal

This is the worst kept secret in the FIRST community.
I think it's something like 47% of the 2016 FRC population will be operating under the district system in 2017. Were California to also be in...
