It doesn't make much sense to set up an infrastructure that we are just going to abend once we get to many teams. Yes I'm going to miss competing at Bayou but we can still trade volunteers and eventually FRC will have interdistrict play. We'll just have to wait a few years.

Yeah, I have to agree with you. FRC in Texas is simply different than Louisiana and Mississippi. With the number of teams growing rapidly, soon to reach the multiple hundreds and having 4 regionals, it's time for you all to branch off and grow your own state league. Honestly, if we were to bring our robot to Lone Star this year, it would be like throwing it to the wolves. Eventually, the districts will reach us all and hopefully Louisiana and Mississippi will give rise to teams like the Robowranglers, Texas Torque, Robonauts, and so forth. All the gracious profesionalism will be greatly missed, including team 3847.
I guess it's just a part of FIRST growing up.
