Our FLL team (first time at champs) had a tremendous time sharing the pits with FRC/FTC/Jr.FLL (wandering around, meeting people, trading swag), so in that sense I think that the non-FRC teams are going to really miss out on the whole massive scale of the thing as well as seeing the incredible FRC teams that they can aspire to be like. The schedule is so busy that they would never have been able to visit the FRC pits were they not in the same building.

On the other hand, if they are able to double or triple the number of FLL and FTC teams invited, then it is an all-around win, so long as there are other ways to keep the programs connected.
