We all had a blast at Minneapolis and Duluth. I have tentative commitments from all but a couple to be back again next year, schedule dependent obviously. The goal is to get everybody hooked on volunteering so that when they graduate from NDSU, they decide to keep doing it because it's so much fun. Now that's how you make progress towards forming districts. I want them as badly as anybody. I just want them to be feasible and sustsinable.

This is absolutely great, and definitely a big help to MN.
Do you think that ND would be lumped together in MN if MN were to switch to districts? I'm just wondering why the solution seems to be for 30-50 college students who are located 3.5 hours away from the venue to volunteer at a regional held in a university 3x the size of NDSU. Is there just a proportionally higher amount of FIRST alumni or students willing to volunteer at NDSU compared to the University of Minnesota?
According to the lookup page on firstinspires.org, ND as a state only has 3 FRC teams. Is Bison Robotics also involved in expanding the FRC program within the state of North Dakota?
