Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/5-minute survey for FIRST strategic plan
Anyone else care to voice there opinion on the survey?

I think FTC stands in the shadow of FRC. FTC has a lot of advantages, though. It's more financially sustainable, easier to build and service, and easier to ship. If you look at it economically, FTC is probably better. However, FRC does a far better job of attracting attention to STEM, which is, after all, the intent of FIRST. As easy as it can be to have an FTC team, most kids are probably going to be drawn to the big robots.
These are just my rough opinions, anybody else think otherwise?
