Re: [FRC Blog] We're Listening

As an alum, I'm not super against this or for it - really don't have enough information. I do find it a bit surprising since it's so...different. Same with RR. Not the biggest fan of the game but I'm quite happy with some of the outcomes - students inspired, things built and ideas realized.


My compromise would be to instead of adding another full layer, simply get one HUGE venue (or two adjacent large venues), in a big city and expand to 8-alliance Einstein.

Bigger conventions happen all the time. So why can't we do that? What's the point in diluting the "CHAMPIONSHIP" name if you could do the same elsewhere? That's the bit I'm confused about.
