This is only true for the field competition side of things. And that is fine. IRI is IRI; it is not FIRST. It only reflects a few facets of the multifaceted organization. For those focused on the field competition aspect, IRI fills the need and will likely continue to. FIRST is much broader in scope and in sharing its mission and goals than IRI can ever be. Each serves a purpose.
