I hope they don't move all of FRC to the pits. I know it's a bit early to speculate, but I wouldn't doubt it, seeing how CARD is starting up. If we qualify for Championships this year, I would hate to break it to the freshman and the first year team members that we won't be competing in the dome. Just walking onto the dome floor is a feeling that can't be replaced. As many people as possible should experience it... Where everyone has their eyes on you and your robot. FIRST was about that feeling... that feeling of inspiring people in science and technology, and being a sport where everyone goes pro.

If being on a dome floor full of people going crazy and being excited about your robot doesn't fall under inspiration and recognition, then I don't know what does.
