My name is Sravan Suryadevara and I was part of the IlliniBots, CARD Team #7 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I was originally going to post a crazy long essay about my experiences and what I think should happen. But I'd rather have this be a discussion.

So I encourage anyone who is interested in this program to post questions. Or any people that think this program may have negative consequences or have concerns to a college FIRST competition, please post away.

All the participants of CARD have been talking a lot of whether or not we should make this a reality and how to make this a reality, all the while sticking with FIRST. I feel it's better to air out any issues and such before fully pushing for a college program and it's important to have the FIRST community support. So let us know!

My one sentence about my experience: It was mind-blowing, CARD, FRC, the Championship, everything was awesome.
