Re: What would you do to improve the FIRST experience?
If they wont get rid of bag and tag day, which is #2 on my list of ways to improve FIRST, they should give all teams 6-8 hours of unbag time the week of a competition and then have qualification matches start after lunch on Thursday.
I'd also be up for regionals moving to a Fri-Sun schedule instead of a Thurs-Sat. That would take kids and teachers out of school less, mentors don't have to take as much vacation as well.
#1 to me is Districts, districts, districts. It is completely unacceptable that my team got 17 qual matches for $9,000 of registration this year while those lucky to be in districts got 24 for $5,000.
