Re: What would you do to improve the FIRST experience?

If FIRST really cared about inspiring students they'd either try their best to actually make these lower and middle level competitions better or just tell students to do VIQ and VRC. If you're promoting an educational program whose alternative is better in every way, you're not in it for the students, you're in it for yourself.
Could you elaborate a little bit about why you believe VRC is "better in every way" than FLL and FTC programs?
