The whole idea behind FIRST Objective is to be a community to help promote FIRST. Chief Delphi is a great resource for teams looking for information, but it is horrible as a tool to promote FIRST.

The use of videos has been the focus since its initial development. The forums and Q & A section is an incentive for teams to go there to look for information. The idea behind FIRST Objective is to have a large community helping promote FIRST to schools that are not yet involved.

I started this site originally because the school district where I live didn't have a team, and I realized that most schools do not have a FIRST team. Keep in mind that the focus of this site is not always what can it offer me, but how can it be used to promote FIRST.
