FIRST may not be able to support this schedule either as an extra day costs additional money.
FIRST is growing. Adding two FRC Divisions with 66.667 to 100 robots per division is not a bad idea, but is there enough room to accommodate another practice field in the convention center and two more fields in the dome?
Which brings up the other option to move Jr. FLL, FLL, and FTC to their own Championship events to gain back the floor space, but where does that leave these future FRC students?
Can the store be moved to a different location to gain back the floor space?
World Congress Center in Atlanta seemed bigger to me (unused floor space).

I have been saying this for a while. The store takes up space in the convention center, and is not even close to being NEARLY big enough to accomodate its traffic. There are so many unused spots in the facilities that can be used.
Yes, Georgia World Congress Center had a much bigger convention center and a lot more open space than St. Louis. I've been wanting to go back ever since we moved away.
