Maybe it's time Texas school districts look at funding FIRST Robotics as a full-fledged extracurricular activity. This will be easier when we go to the District model where you get more than one event for $5000.

It does not take many people with deep pockets pushing for change at the state level for it to happen. Most of you can't remember school without "No Pass No Play" but that seemed to happen almost overnight when Ross Perot made it an issue.
