When our robot control systems, wireless connectivity, and FMS are SO PERFECT that we no longer require dance breaks to fix technical issues, then we will probably also no longer need the services of FTAs, FTAAs, CSAs, etc. -- and then magical elves in a hollow tree can run all of our events remotely, simultaneously, seamlessly. Then I will be outside watching the pigs fly around, because FRC will have become boring.
Until that day, dance on. Macarena, chicken dance, cotton-eyed joe, cha-cha slide, hokey-pokey, whatever you like.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
