[Calvin Hartley]

(Note: at this time I have not taken the time to read this entire thread... I shall do that later. Her are my thoughts anyway.)

My first thought is that I don't particularly like the idea of splitting up the programs. Being in the same venue makes it very easy to go over to the other programs and check them out. In different venues, I expect to see a lot less mingling of programs. I don't like that thought.

However, I cannot agree more with the thoughts about quantity of teams in the non-FRC programs. Being in other venues will allow those programs to grow their Championship presence.

I'm not sure what will happen with FRC in regards to size. Surely there appears to be reason for more teams to go, but will it be six divisions? Eight? Will there be fewer teams in each division? I am uncertain.

Whatever the outcome, this is exciting.
