I'd like to see FRC become more sustainable (financially and on the time commitment side as well) and my personal opinion is that an easy way to accomplish that is to get rid of bag day and make the season open ended.

Also, after talking to colleagues in Europe and elsewhere (not the US), it seems that the FRC season does not align well with their educational calendars so making the season more open ended and maybe even year long might help. It has the added benefit of helping with mentor/volunteer/student burnout. It also gives teams time to compete and iterate more (which we know works because districts).

Just my thoughts though. Like Dean, I don't have all the answers, just ideas.
