Re: New District Events for 2013?
This is an interesting discussion and being a FTC/FLL guy in Texas, I am intrigued but read nothing into that statement about what Texas will do.
What I am seeing so far is interest in multi-state region models. The tricky part then off course is deciding who/how to draw the lines. How does one organize and collect input from a multi-state region to decide such things.
i.e several folks posted positively about a CA region with some adding that including Hawaii would be great and then possibly Nevada. If Washington were then to become a single state district, how do teams in Oregon feel if a district is north and south of them that doesn't include them? Would there need to be a discussion between the Washington and California region organizers to include Oregon? These things get touchy very fast.
I'm just wondering how FIRST folks in the many regions can start to have these kinds of discussions across state/country lines?
