Re: What we expect to see from FRC/FIRST in the next 5 years

In terms of FRC...

1. A more global league. How bout more teams from Mexico, Canada, South America, and more in Asia and Europe where we can see different robots based on different technologies around the world.
2. More opportunities to qualify for CMP. Louisiana is in an area that makes it hard to travel to more than 1 regional. Most are 5,6,7+ hours away, and the past few years, bayou reg. has been dominated by teams from florida and texas. I would like to see a district in the southeast, or another regional in louisiana, mississippi, alabama, or north florida.
3. KOP options. Some rookie & 2nd year teams need a structured KOP, but older expirienced teams could use vouchers, or a more "advanced" version.
4. More profesionally built bots. I want to see exciting robots that make us say WOW!! My team has been a part of some zero to zero matches, & it is not a fun expirience for a young team working their butts off.
5. Notoriety. Period. The students, mentors, volunteers, and sponsors of FIRST deserve to be given the recognition they have worked for, because this is how young people make the world a better place.
