I know this is way way outside the box. Two events. One West coast, one East coast/Midwest.

Does it lessen any goals of the program? Not really. There are a ton of reasons why something like this might not be feasible. But it's an option.
Over 2000 teams now. Champs had ~350 teams this year. FIRST is clearly way past the 3-4 year ideal.
